Travelling to Northern Tasmania for an event or festival? Plan your trip and maximise your time here with boundless experiences on offer.
The region has it all from scenic drives through cool-climate vineyards, soft adventure nestled in the Tasmanian wilderness and coastal vistas to take your breath away. At the heart of Northern Tasmania is Launceston, or 'Launnie' as the locals call it - a UNESCO City of Gastronomy.
Wondering what to pack, how to get here and where to stay? Jump to 'Plan' for information about getting here and getting around. And as for what to pack - just throw in your sense of adventure and throw out the big city pace, you won't need it here! If travelling between May to September don't forget a beanie, some warm gloves and puffer jacket.
Now it's time to start planning and we have plenty of inspo to get you off to a flying start.
