Launceston

Launceston is the second most populous city in Tasmania and a great destination to base your travels.

It’s home to the James Boag Brewery, the Cataract Gorge and close to the Tamar Valley.

Whenever I visited Launceston as a child, we would always visit the ‘monkey park.’ Launceston’s City Park features an enclosure of Japanese macaques. It’s free to visit and great for kids.
