Launceston

E-mail Print PDF

LauncestonLess than a hour flight time away, Launceston is Australia's third oldest city, with elegant Victorian facades, parks and a popular fly/drive destination.

In Launceston, and every country township, there are restaurants, pubs, tea rooms and bakeries serving local specialties. Log fires during winter entice you in for a cosy meal and in the warmer months dining goes al fresco. 

Feast from the day's catch - rock lobster, scallops and deep water scale fish from the Continental shelf, complemented by a bottle of high quality wine from an east coast vineyard.

Launceston is the gateway to natural wonders of the State ranging from exploring the national parks, bushwalking, cable hang gliding, white water rafting, or exploring the vineyards of the area.
