🇦🇺｜Launceston: Tasmania’s Hidden Gem 💎

📍 Located in northern Tasmania, Launceston is the state’s second-largest city – but the city center is compact, relaxed, and perfect for a leisurely city walk 🚶‍♀️🍃. It’s often used as a base for exploring the northern region, with easy road access to nearby towns. 📍 Launceston City Park Just a 5-minute walk from the shopping district 🌳🌷. Features wide green lawns and blooming flowers – great for photos! 📸 📍 Queen Victoria Museum A small art gallery 🖼️ – you can explore it in under an hour. Worth a quick visit if you’re passing by! 📍 Cataract Gorge Reserve A beautiful nature reserve just minutes from the city center 🌲💧. Offers 5 km of forest trails along the river – perfect for hiking. You might even spot peacocks and kangaroos! 🦚🦘 🍽️ Cataract on Paterson Good value for money 💰. Mains are reasonably priced and well-prepared. 🥩 Stick with Aussie lamb or beef – you can’t go wrong! 🐟 Tried the “market fish of the day” (common in many restaurants) – conclusion: Australian fish dishes are a ❌ 🍽️ Blue Stone Bar & Kitchen A lovely breakfast spot 🍳☕. Serves classic Aussie breakfasts (“white people food” 😂) with excellent flat whites! #HiddenGems #TravelAustralia #Tasmania #Launceston #WeekendGetaway #TravelPlog #RoadTripTas #FoodReview
