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 Deloraine & Districts Folk Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Launceston: Legerwood Memorial Tree Carvings (in Legerwood), Rowella (Holm Oak Vineyards & Iron Pot Bay Vineyard) and Sidmouth (Wines for Joanie, Moores Hill Estate, &more). There's lots more to do: learn about winemaking at Tamar Ridge Cellar Door, take in the local highlights with Walking tours, examine the collection at Launceston Tramway Museum, and take some stellar pictures from Brady's Lookout.
