Launceston and north-east Tasmania

The north-east of Tasmania is the sunniest corner of the State. The landscape includes beaches, waterfalls and miles of scenic coastline with great fishing opportunities.
These natural assets are complemented by access to the facilities of Tasmania’s second-largest city of Launceston.
