Grey skies forgotten as sunny taxi driver drove us into Launceston from the airport tantalising us with juicy titbits of information about people and places of note. Our accommodation was up on the hill near City park. From there it was a short walk to gather some breakfast bits before heading off to explore. First stop was [...]

I would like to thank the City of Launceston and all those wonderful people responsible for the experience that was Junction 2010.  It was truly fantastic in all regards.

‘I look over the development here,’ said Patsy Cameron, our guide to Launceston’s Cataract Gorge. The ‘development’ she refers to includes tea-rooms, the quaintly named ‘inclinator’, the chairlift, and various other accoutrements of a European Australian’s Sunday afternoon picnic outing that have adhered to this special and sacred site.

Where does one start with really delightful experiences at the turn of every corner in this most amazing island. I guess I shall start at our very first stay which began in Launceston. We arrived in October 2009, the air was chilly, hands-in-pockets-weather so to speak, but so clean and pure I felt my lungs fill and [...]

Two years ago in November [2008] we went to Tassie for eight days and we only got to see the North and West. We were based in a small town just out of Launceston called Rutherglen. We arrived at Launceston airport and the staff were so friendly even the car hire people gave us a free [...]

We have been to Tassie four times and this last time, it was to show my Dad and Mum exactly what we’ve been raving about. We thought we were pros, perhaps that we should run a tour company even. In eight days we showed them the essence of Tassie and they were left wanting more. [...]

I was in Launceston for 7 days competing at the Aussie Masters National Championships … might I say that the Aquatic Centre was beautiful although it does need more seating arrangements.
