Launceston
www.tourtasmania.com " width="183" height="150" hspace="0" vspace="10" border="1" />
Launceston (pop ~96,000) is located on the Tamar River where the North and South Esk Rivers converge. It is Tasmania's second largest population centre, and is an attractive city due to its many parks and gardens, which incorporate European trees such as oaks and elms.
The Cataract Gorge Reserve is one of the best parks in Launceston. Close to the Gorge is the Penny Royal World. The Penny Royal Watermill has a working cornmill, and is connected to the Penny Royal Gunpowder Mill by a restored tramline. The canon foundry can be viewed and the canons are fired on each cruise (below).
City Park, established in the 1920's, has a monkey island and the John Hart Conservatory.
