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 Brickendon Colonial Farm Village and Lilydale Falls. Change things up with these side-trips from Launceston: Legerwood Memorial Tree Carvings (in Legerwood), Sidmouth (Wines for Joanie, Moores Hill Estate, &more) and Rowella (Holm Oak Vineyards & Iron Pot Bay Vineyard). There's lots more to do: steep yourself in history at Entally House, make a trip to The Town Clock, brush up on your military savvy at Low Head Pilot Station Maritime Museum, and take in the dramatic scenery at St Columba Falls Reserve.
