Across the North - Launceston

Still on the first day, after taking in the sights of Stanley and the North-west of Tasmania, we headed east to Launceston for an overnight stay.

Launceston is a very nice city. It's the main centre in Northern Tasmania and has lots of cultural, historical, sporting and natural attractions. Cataract Gorge was stunning, as were the Botanical Gardens.

The streets and parks of this hilly town are full of old trees and period houses. The Cascade Brewery is there too and they run tours.

Here are some pictures of Cataract Gorge.











Below are some pictures taken at the Launceston Botanical Gardens. The peacocks were beautiful.
