Northern Tasmania, Tasmania

You can actually drive from Hobart to Launceston along the Heritage Highway or the reverse in around 2 hours, but to do that would be to miss some of the most spectacular country, towns and memorable experiences you're ever likely to come across.

Slow down a little and you'll become aware of the ever changing hues of the land, the sky, and sea. Travel through rich and varied farming land, the old mining towns of Derby and Weldborough, see the white gold of long sandy beaches and the rugged summit of Ben Lomond and other striking peaks.

You can hear the stories of the convicts who hauled and hammered stone for bridges and churches; the bushrangers and farmers and feel the pulse of this unique place.

From Launceston, with its blend of history, scenery, creativity, and more, to the lush wine growing region of the Tamar Valley you'll be struck by this wonderful region, as have generations of travellers before you.

The stone bridge at 38s is not in the north, it's 20 minutes from Hobart, at Richmond.

We are moving there later this year, we'd like a place with about 20 acres.

What were the nicest areas?
