Getting There

By air: Launceston airport is just 10 miles from the city and transfers can be made by the Tasmanian Shuttle Bus or by taxis.

Other routes include Sydney and Brisbane.

By car: Launceston can be reached easily from Hobart by taking the Midlands Highway or the more scenic Tasman Highway. From Devonport and Burnie you should take the Bass Highway.
