Launceston is located in the Tamar Valley, 198 kilometres north of Hobart. The city is surrounded by many hills and ravines. The topography of the area is greatly influenced by its location at the junction of two rivers which meet to form the broad Tamar River. From here the river valley opens north to Bass Strait only 58 kilometres away. Launceston is the second largest city in Tasmania after the state capital, Hobart, however it is said to maintain a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The Tamar Valley was formed by volcanic and glacial forces over 10 million years ago. Settled in March 1806, Launceston is one of Australia’s oldest cities and is home to many historic buildings dating from the colonial to Georgian and Victorian eras. These have been fondly maintained, housing restaurants, cafés, banks and boutiques. The town was so-called after its English namesake, Launceston, Cornwall.Old Macs Farm and Fishery, 55 Sandown Rd, offers short and long-term parking to visitors.
