Launceston and the northern island

Answer

OUR FAVOURITE RESTAURANTS For something a little fancy Stillwater does Mod Aus dining in a beautiful refurbished flour mill If you feel like pizza and a beer you can't go past Du Cane, or if you are in the mood for Asian, Monsoon and Small Grain would be our picks The best spots for coffee and brunch in Launceston in our opinion are Valley Coffee, Tinka and Tatler Lane, however the best pastries are at Bread and Butter OUR FAVOURITE WINERIES Swinging Gate does pizza and Pét-nat Holm Oak has resident pigs who you can feed apples to Marrion's Vineyard lets you build your own charcuterie boards Stoney Rise has an incredible architecturally designed tasting room Josef Chromy Wines for something a little fancier OUR FAVOURITE HIKES Quamby Bluff (where we got engaged!) has beautiful views out over Deloraine and the surrounding countryside Liffey Falls has both a shorter and longer hike that take you to beautiful waterfalls Duck Reach is a smaller local hike leaving from Cataract Gorge and taking you up to the old hydro-electric power station.
