NORTH EAST TASMANIA
North Eastern Tasmania is the region stretching from
Launceston in the North West to Freycinet National Park
in the south east. Throughout the region are the
wineries, orchards and farms that produce the acclaimed
fine Tasmanian wines and foods.
Launceston is Tasmania's second largest city and
gateway to the northern and eastern regions. Launceston
is often referred to as 'the garden city'. It has many
parks and reserves including the 13-hectare City Park.
At its heart is the magnificent Cataract Gorge Reserve.
The Tamar River links Launceston with its ocean port
of Bell Bay. The Tamar Valley contains many vineyards,
orchards and forest areas.
Beyond the city are the highlands, icy streams and
alpine lakes. The north-east is mountainous and
forested, and in summer it's hills are covered by fields
of lavender and poppies. The inland portion of this
region is rich agricultural land. Mount William National
Park is home to over half of Tasmania's native species.
The northern and eastern coastal regions are a stark
contrast to the inland forests and open plains. From the
sand dunes of St Helens through the Chain of Lagoons and
Bicheno, the east coast is a strip of breathtaking
beaches, granite outcrops and deserted coves. Diving is
also popular, with excellent visibilty, marine habitats
plus fish and plant diversity.
The pink granite monoliths of the Freycinet National
Park beckon. The peninsula is fringed with white
beaches, crystal water and some of the most spectacular
coastal headlands in Tasmania.
Flinders Island and Cape Barron Island off the
north-east coast of Tasmania offer coastal dunes,
heathlands and woodlands along with over 100 species of
birds.
