Launceston and North Tasmania

Founded in 1805, Launceston is Tasmania's second largest city and gateway to the north. Its elegant Victorian streetscapes, numerous gardens and architecture suffuse an historic and gracious ambience. With three airlines flying routes from the mainland, and the Spirit of Tasmania ferry docking not far away in Devonport, Launceston is many a visitor's first stop in Tasmania. Then there is the wine region around the Tamar Valley (East and West on either side of the river) and the nearby historic towns of Deloraine, Longford and Ross to explore.
