Launceston is Tasmania’s second-largest city and a vibrant hub for food and wine, culture, and nature, and the Cataract Gorge is just minutes from the city centre.
The jagged contours of snow-capped Cradle Mountain epitomise the feel of a wild landscape, while ancient rainforest and alpine heathlands, buttongrass, and deciduous beech trees provide a range of environments to explore.
There are more than 30 wineries within driving distance of each other, coupled with some spectacular scenery along the way.
