Scamander Beach Resort

Launceston/Nth East

Launceston is a city full of charm, with eye-catching architecture, eclectic stores to browse, swanky restaurants and cool café’s. Tasmania's second major city is a vibrant hub for food and wine, cutting edge festivals and nature. Locally, amber tickets provide the ultimate beer lovers brewery experience at Boags Brewery. Descend into Cataract Gorge, pass wallabies grazing on the lawns and traverse the gorge. Drive the 170 kilometres making up the Tamar Valley Wine Route or buy local produce at a farm gate market.

Head north east to explore world class golf courses hugging the coast, striking fields of lavender, world-class mountain bike tracks and ribbons of white beaches. Mention the east coast to locals and eyes light up, with visions of bleached sand, wine and seafood. The Great Eastern Drive stretches from St Helens to Orford – Bay of Fires and Freycinet are a must. Dine on plump oysters, crisp wines, and kayak with frolicking dolphins.
