One of the things we love about winter in Launceston is that a little rain never gets in the way of a perfect day out.

Discover QVMAG Inveresk, where you can wander through historic railway workshops, enjoy dinosaur like a kid and gaze at the stars in the Planetarium. or head to the Queen Victoria Art Gallery to explore beautiful colonial and contemporary works and ever-changing exhibitions celebrating Tasmanian stories.

For something a little different, step back in time among beautifully restored classic cars at the National Automobile Museum, or marvel at the incredible collection of Salvador Dalí works at Dada Muse – the largest collection of Dalí’s art outside Europe.

Looking for something a little cosier? Settle in for a movie and let the rain roll by at the beautifully restored Star Theatre, offering loads of charm and delicious food.

Winter in Launnie has a different pace, and it’s all part of the charm.
