Launceston was built at the meeting point of three rivers- The north Esk, the South Esk and the Tamar. First settled by Eurepeans in 1804 and is Tasmania's second large City.
We started our journey from Launceston which is the second biggest city in Tasmania and is situated in the North of the island. Although Launceston is an industrial cityl it has some beautiful historic buildings dating back to early 18th century.
The Post Office - was build in 1880 and the clock tower was added in 1903
The new part of the town - yacht club, restaurants and apartments.
