About Launceston

Launceston is a city in the north of Tasmania, Australia at the junction of the North Esk and South Esk rivers where they become the Tamar River (Kanamaluka). Settled by Europeans in March 1806, Launceston is one of Australia's oldest cities and is home to many historic buildings. The first inhabitants of the area of Launceston were largely nomadic Aboriginal Tasmanians believed to have been part of the North Midlands Tribe. Launceston has an oceanic, temperate climate with four distinct seasons. Many of the buildings in the City's central business district (CBD) were constructed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and Launceston is a major location of Federation style housing.
