Brady's Lookout over the Tamar Valley

Exeter
Rural service town north of Launceston
Exeter, a typical rural service town, is located 24 km north of Launceston on the West Tamar Highway. Although it is an important town for the local area - it lies at the centre of a large area noted for its orchards, dairy and beef cattle and its sheep herds - it has little of historic interest and is commonly passed through by travellers eager to explore the historically significant Beaconsfield and Beauty Point to the north.

Things to see:  

The oldest Methodist Church in Tasmania

Methodist Church
The only building in the town of any interest is the Methodist Church, a handsome timber building, which, having been completed in 1861, is the oldest Methodist Church in Tasmania. While it is hardly an impressive building it is an important moment in the history of this part of Tasmania.

Brady's Lookout
5 km south of Exeter on the West Tamar Highway is Brady's Lookout. It is a delightful irony that this rocky outcrop, once used by the bushranger Matthew Brady to spy on possible victims on the road below, is now a panoramic lookout across the Tamar Valley complete with picnic and toilet facilities. It is an outstanding lookout which has been well maintained. An ideal location for a picnic or a break before entering Launceston.
