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 Narawntapu National Park. Change things up with these side-trips from Launceston: Sidmouth (Wines for Joanie, Moores Hill Estate, &more), Rowella (Holm Oak Vineyards & Iron Pot Bay Vineyard) and Legerwood Memorial Tree Carvings (in Legerwood). There's much more to do: steep yourself in history at Brickendon Colonial Farm Village, admire the sheer force of St Columba Falls Reserve, get engrossed in the history at Bass Strait Maritime Centre, and take in the local highlights with Walking tours.
