5 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.

Explore Launceston's surroundings by going to Beauty Point (Seahorse World & Platypus House), House of Anvers Museum of Chocolate (in Latrobe) and Mole Creek (Mole Creek Caves & Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary). Dedicate the 17th (Thu) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's lots more to do: look for all kinds of wild species at Cataract Gorge Reserve, indulge your thirst for a good beer at James Boag Brewery Experience, admire the verdant scenery at The Tamar Valley, and stroll around City Park.
