Activities
Life in Launnie
Just Enjoy
From what’s on around town to where to eat, drink and shop, Launnie’s city centre is best explored as it unfolds.
Launceston is a city where nature is never far away. From riverside walks and heritage gardens to dramatic gorges and wide open parklands, our green spaces are woven through daily life and just minutes from the city centre.
These places invite you to slow down, explore, and reconnect — whether that’s a morning walk, a family picnic, or an adventure along the river.
As a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, we come together each Saturday at Harvest Market in the city. From 8:30am to 12:30pm, meet the growers, bakers and makers behind our food, and experience the city’s produce culture at its best.
Our regions are as diverse as our stories — take a look around and see how the Launceston way of life flows from the river to the hills, and why more people are choosing to live, work and explore right here.
We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal People as traditional custodians of this land, we pay respect to Elders past and present, as they hold the memories, traditions, culture and hope for generations to come. We recognise and value Aboriginal histories, knowledge and lived experiences and commit to being culturally inclusive and respectful in our working relationships with Aboriginal People.
