Launceston is the gateway to the famed Tamar Valley wine region, home to over 20 charming and unique cellar doors open for tastings. Nature lovers are spoiled for choice, with a diverse range of natural attractions found within the area, from the city’s historic parks and reserves to the imposing Cataract Gorge which is a short 15-minute walk from the city. Take a ride on the southern hemisphere’s longest single-span chairlift from atop the Alexandra Suspension bridge and take in the majestic views from the Gorge lookouts. Guided walks through the gorge are available, or intrepid peeps can download the heritage walking map online to enjoy the sights and history at their own pace.
