Launceston and North

This region packs genuine variety into a short drive, wildlife-dense national park giving way to wine country and world-class mountain bike trails within an hour of each other. Narawntapu National Park earns its nickname honestly, wombats, wallabies and Forester kangaroos gathering in numbers dense enough to rival an actual safari. Cataract Gorge cuts straight into the edge of Launceston, a chairlift and walking trails minutes from the CBD. Somewhere between the wildlife and the wine, this region found its own balance.
