Launceston

Why Visit Launceston? # The scent of roasting coffee beans and ancient eucalyptus drifts through the air as the morning mist lifts off the Tamar River. Launceston offers American travelers a slower-paced Australian experience where nineteenth-century colonial architecture meets a fiercely independent modern arts and food movement. Located in the north of Tasmania, this compact city feels worlds away from the high-rise sprawl of Sydney or Melbourne , yet it provides every modern comfort a traveler needs for a relaxing getaway.
