Launceston Walking Tour

Launceston, Australia

Why Walk Launceston

Launceston is Australia's third-oldest city, set at the confluence of the North Esk and South Esk Rivers where they form the Tamar. Cataract Gorge, a dramatic cliff-lined gorge with a suspension bridge and chairlift, is just a 15-minute walk from the city center — one of the most remarkable urban natural features in Australia. The city's well-preserved Victorian and Edwardian architecture lines the streets, and the Tamar Valley wine region stretches north to the coast.
