Set on the banks of the Kanamaluka (River Tamar) in Tasmania’s north, Launceston is a city of contrasts. Explore the rocky trails of an ancient river gorge one day then tee-off on a manicured putting green the next. Peer into a rich past and discover heritage-listed architecture, before perusing collections of modern art or contemporary woodworks at one of Launceston’s museums. From bracing outdoor excursions to lip-smacking culinary adventures, the Apple Isle’s second city has it all.
