22 days in Launceston Itinerary

Lying in the Tamar Valley and surrounded by forested hills, the grid-patterned city of Launceston boasts shaded avenues, vibrant street life, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at The Low Head Lighthouse and Franklin House. Change things up with these side-trips from Launceston: Rowella (Holm Oak Vineyards & Iron Pot Bay Vineyard), Sidmouth (Wines for Joanie, Moores Hill Estate, &more) and Legerwood Memorial Tree Carvings (in Legerwood). There's much more to do: take in the local highlights with Walking tours, steep yourself in history at Brickendon Colonial Farm Village, examine the collection at City Park Radio Museum, and admire the sheer force of Lilydale Falls.
