LAUNCESTON<br />
It’s pronounced ‘Lon-ceston’ rather than ‘Lawn’,<br />
and if you see a furry face peering out at the Gorge<br />
you’re probably looking at a pademelon.<br />
Now you’re speaking like a local, let’s start exploring<br />
Tasmania’s second-biggest city.<br />
Feast on the freshest<br />
Launceston offers big-city café culture with the<br />
friendliness of a country town. The quality of the<br />
coffee is outstanding (Launcestonians did found<br />
Melbourne, after all) while the local cuisine is<br />
world class.<br />
Heritage homes and buildings<br />
Launceston’s a very walkable city, so step out<br />
and look up at the rich blend of architecture<br />
around town from Victorian, Georgian and<br />
Federation eras to cutting-edge design. There’s a<br />
plethora of stately heritage buildings to explore,<br />
from the grand Albert Hall, Custom House and<br />
Town Hall to the convict-built Franklin House<br />
in Youngtown.<br />
Getting active<br />
There’s plenty of nature-based action around<br />
here. If you have energy to burn after all that<br />
cheese and wine, then hike on the Zig Zag track<br />
or further past the cantilevered lookout to the<br />
old Duck Reach Power Station. Strap in for a ride<br />
through the trees with cable hang gliding, or try<br />
your hand at rock climbing up Cataract Gorge’s<br />
sheer cliff walls. Fancy a dip? The Gorge’s First<br />
Basin features a free outdoor swimming pool<br />
overlooking the river in summer months, while<br />
Launceston Leisure & Aquatic Centre offers<br />
modern heated indoor pools all year round.<br />
Travelling beyond Launceston<br />
Launceston is an easy journey to Tasmania’s best<br />
waterfalls, caves, beaches and beyond. You might<br />
travel to meet wombats on the tracks at Cradle<br />
Mountain, or to descend into Mole Creek Caves<br />
to see glow worms light up like stars. Wherever<br />
you travel, you’ll never be far away from the<br />
unforgettable food and sights of Launceston.<br />

LAUNCESTON<br />
Penny Royal<br />
Penny Royal has burst onto the international tourism<br />
scene with its unique environment saturated with 1820’s<br />
beauty, modern day adventures and an excellent selection<br />
of restaurants, cafés, wine and craft beer and spirit bars.<br />
Situated in the old Launceston quarry (next to the Gorge),<br />
the precinct is in easy walking distance of Launceston CBD<br />
and all it’s major hotels.<br />
The impressive staircase to Penny Royal leads to a breath<br />
taking first impression as you capture your first glimpse<br />
and discover a world tucked behind the modest replica<br />
1800’s facades. As you step into the grounds of Penny<br />
Royal your eyes cast across the Brig Tamar awaiting sail<br />
on the lagoon in front of the magnificent 30 meter waterfall<br />
next to the beautiful Penny Royal Wine Bar and Restaurant.<br />
As you follow the anxious gaze and encouraging cheers of<br />
fellow visitors you see a brave participant summoning the<br />
courage to launch from the quick jump, ready to experience<br />
5.5m of freefall from the 20m high quarry cliff before<br />
gliding down to the net below.<br />
Then step aboard the government Brig ‘Tamar’, cruise on<br />
the lagoon, hear about Launceston’s past, explore Sarah<br />
Island, meet Brady’ ghost, and experience the thrill of an<br />
authentic 24 pound cannon firing as you return fire with<br />
cannons aboard the ship.<br />
Youngsters and families scatter the grounds amidst the<br />
entertainment of attractions. For our younger generation<br />
try your hand at panning for gold and fossicking for gem<br />
stones in the mine, or enjoy the convict barefoot sensation<br />
adventure trail and experience the sensations of having to<br />
work in your bare feet all those years ago.<br />
After an action packed day of exploring and discovering,<br />
sit back, relax, and enjoy the picturesque replica 1825 stone<br />
buildings overlooking the lagoon as you indulge in great<br />
local food, fine Tasmanian wines and craft beers.<br />
Penny Royal offers an invigorating and enlightening<br />
experience that you’ll never forget – come and explore!<br />
Enjoy casual or a la carte dining on the restaurant deck<br />
overlooking the lagoon as people journey above on the<br />
Cliff Walk or watch the courageous use the Zip Lines that<br />
propels them 100m across the iconic Penny Royal grounds<br />
in front of you.<br />
The Penny Royal complex offers a rich experience<br />
steeped in history, detailing the ‘gentleman’s’ bushranger<br />
- Mathew Brady’s - story dating back to convict times in<br />
Van Diemen’s Land. Jump aboard a barge on the Mathew<br />
Brady Dark Ride to immerse yourself in the escapades of<br />
iconic local bushranger Mathew Brady recreated by realistic<br />
human animatronics. Escape the gunfire and unlike Brady,<br />
live to tell the tale.<br />

HERITAGE HIGHWAY<br />
The Heritage Highway follows much of the<br />
original route between Launceston and Hobart,<br />
built by convict road gangs in the early 1800’s.<br />
The scenery all year round is spectacular as is the<br />
heritage architecture. There’s a number of villages<br />
and towns along the highway with antique and<br />
vintage stores and charming country pubs.<br />
One of those towns is Oatlands boasting a huge<br />
number of sandstone buildings in its main street,<br />
including the restored Georgian windmill the<br />
Callington Mill.<br />
Further north, historic Ross continues to enthral<br />
with colonial charm – a feature is the town’s<br />
intricately carved convict-built bridge and the<br />
female convict prison, the Ross Female Factory.<br />
Be sure to drop into the Wool Centre while you<br />
are there and learn more about the local history.<br />
The combined World Heritage listed sites of<br />
Brickendon Farm and Woolmers Estate on the<br />
outskirts of Longford are a must. Combined,<br />
these sites offer a unique and fascinating<br />
reflection of colonial life in Tasmania. The<br />
National Rose Garden can also be found at<br />
Woolmers and you can visit the two gallery<br />
spaces on site. Linked by a short walk is the<br />
colonial farm village of Brickendon Estate which<br />
also offers heritage accommodation.<br />
The historic town of Evandale is worth a visit at<br />
any time of year but the annual Penny Farthing<br />
Championships, the weekly Sunday market or<br />
the Glover Art Show are all highlights on the<br />
town’s calendar.<br />

<strong>NORTH</strong> EAST<br />
Diversity abounds in the north east, apart<br />
from the natural beauty and a continuation of<br />
beautiful untouched beaches, there’s temperate<br />
rainforests. At the northern end of the east coast<br />
is the Mt William National Park with expansive<br />
views of the Furneaux Islands.<br />
Visit the Eddystone Point Lighthouse, the Bay<br />
of Fires and Musselroe Wind Farm for starters.<br />
Then from the east coast, head inland towards<br />
Weldborough Pass. Along the way look out for<br />
the turn off to the St Columba Falls which boasts<br />
a spectacular 90 metre drop waterfall.<br />
Taste the delicious award-winning cheese at the<br />
Pyengana Dairy Company and visit the Pub in<br />
the Paddock while you are there and meet a beer<br />
swilling pig.<br />
One of the biggest attractions in recent times in<br />
Derby is mountain bike riding with the terrain<br />
attracting some of the best riders in the world<br />
along with locals and visiting enthusiasts.<br />
The trails take in the beauty of rainforests<br />
and encompasses some of the most stunning<br />
landscapes in the state. Scottsdale is the major<br />
town of the region with a rich agricultural and<br />
forestry history.<br />
The Bridestowe Lavender Estate is just a short<br />
drive away and is at its most spectacular in<br />
December and January when the rolling hills of<br />
lavender are flowering. Then there’s Barnbougle,<br />
most golfing enthusiasts will have heard about<br />
Barnbougle Dunes – everyone deserves to play<br />
a round of golf at Australia’s number one public<br />
golf course situated in a breathtaking location<br />
looking out over Bass Strait.<br />
This is also one of the top wine producing parts<br />
of the state linking with the famous Tamar<br />
Valley. Try a Sparkling Tour which showcases the<br />
region’s bubbles which can be sampled at the<br />
cellar doors of Pipers Brook and Jansz.<br />

yourself at their pancake parlour. The natural<br />
backdrop to this beautiful region is the equally<br />
stunning Mt Roland.<br />
