About Launceston Tamar Valley |
|
Launceston is an ideal base to explore the many natural and historic attractions of the Tamar (the Valley of the Senses) – without fuss or frenzy. A wine lover's and foodie's paradise, it's made for losing yourself - in exploration, romance and adventure, by land, air, river or sea. Situated in Australia’s Northern Tasmania, our climate is similar to the south of France, and our locals are well-known for their friendliness. A quick flight from Melbourne or Sydney, Launceston Tamar Valley is a 'sensational' place to visit – for a short break or a major holiday.

 Smell the forest floor at Hollybank Forest, Underwood, where magnificent avenues of deciduous trees line the edge of Pipers River (if you’re lucky you’ll find the swimming hole).
See and celebrate harvest in the local vineyards on the Tamar Valley Wine Route with a glass of last year’s vintage. |

“A place that nourishes your soul.” “Launceston Tamar Valley is extremely fortunate because it’s where two great, fresh water rivers meet the sea, and where they meet is tidal. No wonder the city is where it is because it’s a meeting place - an inland town, with links to the sea – and the whole area revolves around water. |

"Lonnie gave me some of the best years of my life. It's a great City. being a smaller place, you're never far from anywhere. I have terrific memories of school, cricket and the NTCA (North Tasmanian Cricket Association) ground, footy at York Park. I made the Tassie team from there, and then the Australian Team"
