Afternoon

  • Pick up some local fare from one of the many providores and indulge in a picnic within the green-drenched City Park, home to the Japanese Macaques – monkeys presented to Launceston by Japanese sister-city Ikeda.
  • After strolling amongst giant oak and plane trees in the City Park view the works of talented local designers at the Design Centre of Tasmania, located just next door.

Evening

  • Situated within the award winning Peppers Silos hotel, Grain of the Silos is one of Launceston's newest additions to the suite of impressive dining options for locals and visitors alike and this evening we recommend it as your dining option. Grain is a platform for a produce driven menu based on seasonality and locality - the essence of what is the beauty behind Tasmanian fare.
