Our trip to Tasmania - Launceston

I knew that Launceston was a fairly small city and didn't have a lot of expectations but I was truly surprised by its beauty.



It is situated on the picturesque banks of Tamar River and is one of the oldest cities in Australia. I was surrounded by old Victorian and Art Deco buildings


We stayed in Auldington Hotel which was built in 1899.  Behind vintage exterior the hotel had recently renovated and modern rooms.
 ...and a beautiful garden at the front.

The whole city was full of fragrant blooming flowers, particularly roses.


 We loved going for a walk there looking at beautiful architecture.




 On our last day we came back to Lauceston again and had few hours to spare before our flight. So we went to see Cataract Gorge and surrounding parklands.

At the park we got greeted by several gorgeous peacocks
 Cataract Gorge was certainly a must-see...

 I loved big public pool next to it...

 We took a chair lift to get a better view...





 ...and walked around



 Now you can see why it is so easy to fall in love with Launceston. Next time I will definitely stay there longer.
