About Launceston

Launceston, the second-oldest city in Australia, boasts a charming atmosphere and rich history that makes it unmissable. The standout attraction is Cataract Gorge, a breathtaking natural wonder with a scenic reserve and suspension bridges, offering a glimpse into the region's geological past. One unique thing travellers love about Launceston is its vibrant art scene, with numerous galleries and street art displays showcasing local talent.
