REGION: Midlands
Today ’s region follows the routes pioneered in 1807. Those first explorers took eight days to traverse the island. Soon afterwards, the fastest horse-drawn coaches completed the journey in 15 hours, changing horses every 10 miles. These days, you can drive from Launceston to Hobart in a couple of hours - but if you do, you’ll be missing some of Tasmania’s most gently - beautiful country scenery, and bypassing the State’s best-preserved colonial towns and villages of the Midlands region of Tasmania. Here sandstone church spires overlook English trees, Georgian cottages line the quiet streets and stone bridges are reflected in leaf-dappled water. Content for this region: Tourism Tasmania |
