About Launceston

Located at the confluence of the North Esk, South Esk, and Tamar rivers, Launceston is one of Australia’s oldest inland cities, established in 1806. The city grew rapidly as a commercial hub for the surrounding agricultural wealth of the midlands and the mining boom of the northeast. This prosperous history is reflected in one of the most intact collections of Victorian and Edwardian architecture in the nation. Today, Launceston is a designated UNESCO City of Gastronomy, a title that highlights its deep connection to the premium food and wine producers of the Tamar Valley. The community lifestyle is defined by historic urban parks, a relaxed daily pace, and the dramatic natural feature of the Cataract Gorge, located just a short walk from the city centre. Its independent business scene thrives on a proud tradition of local trade, featuring bustling weekend markets, family-owned retailers, and a highly collaborative community of hospitality operators.
