About two and a half hours north of Hobart is the lovely riverside city of Launceston. It's famous for its green City Park, which is teaming with flowers in the spring. Cataract Gorge is also a major attraction worth visiting. Get a bite to eat while overlooking the water. If you have some extra time, travel a bit further north to squeeze in a trip to Beaconsfield. Visit the Mine and Heritage Centre where you can learn about the region's history and life in the beautiful Tamar Valley.
