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 Narawntapu National Park. 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 much more to do: admire the sheer force of St Columba Falls Reserve, learn about winemaking at Tamar Ridge Cellar Door, visit a coastal fixture at The Low Head Lighthouse, and make a trip to The Town Clock.

March in Launceston sees daily highs of 26°C and lows of 11°C at night. Finish your sightseeing early on the 11th (Thu) so you can travel back home.
