Launceston Vacation & Tourism Guide
photo by Peters Travels
This small Tasmanian city offers natural and man-made wonders every traveler can enjoy. A massive gorge with suspension bridges and lifts is one attraction, while city parks and vineyards offer more subdued settings. Inland, there are historic houses and sports stadiums to check out. Anytime is a good time to visit Launceston.
