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: 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 lots more to do: make a trip to The Town Clock, admire the sheer force of Lilydale Falls, examine the collection at City Park Radio Museum, and do a tasting at Delamere Vineyards.
