6 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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Lilydale Falls and Brickendon Colonial Farm Village. Get in touch with nature at Ben Lomond Ski Resort and Cataract Gorge Reserve. Change things up with a short trip to Brickendon Estate in Longford (about 32 minutes away). There's much more to do: contemplate the long history of Entally Estate, take in the views from Alexandra Suspension Bridge, appreciate the views at The Tamar Valley, and learn the secrets of beer at a beer tour and tasting.
