The First Basin at the Gorge

Launceston
Second largest city in Tasmania noted for its exceptionally beautiful nineteenth century buildings.
Launceston is Tasmania¹s second major centre. Located 199 km north of Hobart on the Tamar River, Launceston, with its population of approximately 65 000, is really nothing more than a large country town with an extraordinary history and a large number of elegant nineteenth century buildings. There is an argument that it has the greatest concentration of large nineteenth century buildings of any city in Australia. While it doesn¹t feel like a major city it does have a distinctive ambience and charm and it is this that helps to make it a destination of great charm and an ideal central point for exploring the many nineteenth century villages which are within half and hour of the city centre.

The Tamar river was discovered by Europeans when bass and Flinders, during their circumnavigation of Van Diemen's Land in 1798, entered it. They explored the river for 16 days and named it Port Dalrymple after Alexander Dalrymple, the British Admiralty's hydrographer.

The area was settled in 1804 when Governor King, fearful that the French might settle in Van Diemen's Land, sent a small expeditionary force under Lieutenant Colonel William Paterson to the district. Paterson set up camp at the present-day site of George Town. Shortly afterwards an expedition, heading southward, came to the present site of Launceston. They were so impressed that a blockhouse was built and by March, 1806 Paterson had decided to relocate to the area which was originally named Patersonia (for obvious reasons) but soon renamed Launceston, after a town in Cornwall where Governor Philip Gidley King had been born.

Like Hobart its economic importance was originally based on its function as a port. By 1824 it had become the official headquarters of the island¹s northern military command. This was against the wishes of Governor Macquarie who had favoured George Town, closer to the mouth of the Tamar River, as the main settlement. In 1826 it was surveyed and by 1827 the town had a population of 2 000 and was already shipping wool and wheat from the surrounding districts.

By the 1830s it was being used as a port of call by whalers and sealers although it was still officially a military town. In 1852 it assumed the role of Tasmania¹s second major centre and was proclaimed a municipality. Tin was found at Mount Bischoff in 1871 and a decade later Launceston opened its own stock exchange.

The old No.16 tramway at Penny Royal

In 1911 electric trams were introduced into the city. A remnant, the No.16, still runs as a tourist attraction at the Penny Royal Mill complex.

Today Launceston is an attractive and important centre. It is known as Tasmania's Garden City because of the large numbers of parks and gardens. Realistically it is Tasmania's second city and, for most visitors who make the trip across Bass Strait, it is their first port of call after they have arrived at either Devonport or George Town.

The Economy
Bell Bay, located a short distance away, is home to one of the largest aluminium smelting works in the Southern Hemisphere. It is one of the few success stories for the Tasmanian Hydroelectricity Commission. Huge amounts of electricity are needed to convert bauxite into aluminium and the cheapness of Tasmanian power persuaded the multinational Comalco organisation that it was economically viable to ship bauxite from their mines in Queensland and the Northern Territory to a smelter in Tasmania. Launceston¹s industrial base also includes meat exporting, wood chip manufacture, food processing, and the manufacture of textiles.

Things to see:  

1. Historic Buildings
The best way to explore Launceston's historic past is to get a copy of 'Walk About Launceston' produced by the City Architect and Planner's Department. It nominates 25 places (including Cataract Gorge) concentrated in central Launceston and offers a comprehensive overview of the city's magnificent architecture. The walk passes starts at Brisbane Street Mall and includes F & W Stewart, an interesting 19th century jewellers and the Tasmania Hotel, a Georgian Hotel near the city centre. It continues through Princes Square (an extraordinary square where, during the 19th century there was a hot air balloon attempt, two bushrangers were hanged and the fountain was purchased from the Paris Exhibition of 1858.

It moves on to Morton House (a two storey Georgian House originally known as St John's Hospital where, in 1847, the first use of anaesthetic in Australia occurred), Drysdale House (a Queen Anne/Georgian building), Milton Hall (built in 1842 and first used as St John's Square Chapel), through rows of Georgian houses, to the Synagogue which was built in 1844. It is characterised by a public facade which was typical of the Egyptian revival period of architecture at the time.

Ye Olde Bridge Hotel (1888)

Other attractions on the walk include Quadrant Mall (surrounded by a number of attractive late 19th century buildings including the City Hotel (1870s) and ANZ Bank (1880s), a terrace of Victorian shops between 78-86 George Street, the Brewery Oast House, the huge Monds and Affleck Mill (built 1860), the substantial Customs House (1885), Johnstone and Wilmots store (1842) in St John Street, the Town Hall and Post Office and the complex of Public Buildings fronting Cameron, St John and Paterson Streets. The true enjoyment of Launceston is to take your time, linger at each building, and try and imagine what this remarkable city was like in the 1880s and 1890s.

Historic Highlights in Central Launceston
If you are limited by time the buildings worthy of particular attention include:

(a) Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery - an excellent museum which offers an insight into the history of Launceston including both its Aboriginal and convict past. It opened in 1891 and is considered one of the best regional museums in Australia.

(b) Prince's Square - surely the finest and most impressive of all the city's squares it is notable for its fountain and handsome Georgian and Victorian buildings.

(c) Macquarie House - now part of the Queen Victoria Museum it was built by the local merchant, Henry Reed, in 1830. The museum is open from 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. Monday to Saturday. It specialises in the history of Launceston. Details: (03) 6331 6777.

(d) Batman Faulkner Inn - Originally known as the Cornwall Hotel - it was here that John Batman and his friends met and decided to cross Bass Strait and establish the new colony which would eventually become Melbourne.

2. Cataract Gorge.
An exceptionally beautiful park characterised by a chairlift across the basin, excellent nature walks through the surrounding bush, excellent views and a range of facilities including a kiosk, restaurant, swimming pool. There is also a pleasant walk across a suspension bridge, a bandstand and a wide range of flora including the South Esk pine, Bull Oak and some very old lime and cypress trees. The area was developed in 1899 with the first suspension bridge being built in 1904. Not surprisingly Cataract Gorge is Launceston's most popular destination for family picnics. It is a unique and pleasant destination which is open from early morning to late in the evening with the hours shortened in the winter months. You should get a map, or very clear instructions, as the route to the car park from York Street is a little complex.

Penny Royal near Launceston

3. Tourist Attractions
(a) Penny Royal World
This is a tourist attraction based on the original Penny Royal Windmill which was built in 1840. Completed in the 1970s, it now comprises accommodation and reconstructed 19th century mills and attractions. There is a 16.5 metre windmill, a fort, a gunpowder mill, a paddlesteamer and a cannon foundry. The Penny Royal Watermill was built at Barton, near Cressy, 54 km from Launceston and was moved to its current site in 1973. The Penny Royal Cornmill is a working replica of the original, built in 1825. Visitors can see the mill moving the grinding stones. This is basically a theme park offering a variety 19th century mills and activities. As part of the attraction there is an historic Launceston tram (the No.16) which operates every ten minutes between the watermill and the windmill. Also the Lad Stelfox paddlesteamer offers a 45 minute cruise of the Tamar River and Cataract Gorge. For further information contact (03) 6331 6699.

Franklin House

(b) Franklin House and Franklin Village
Franklin House is one Launceston's major historic attractions. This grand Georgian house was built by convicts in 1838 for a Launceston brewer, Britton Jones. By 1842 it had changed hands and, for the next 40 years, it was the W.K. Hawkes School for Boys. It now belongs to the National Trust which first opened it to the public in 1961. In fact the National Trust was established in Tasmania in 1960 specifically to purchase the building. The house has been carefully furnished. Notable pieces include an 18th century mahogany clock, an organ, Tasmanian cedar piano and French musical box, a range of interesting portraits and, most importantly, the extensive use of cedar for for doors, architraves, windows and skirting boards. It is open from 9.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m. (it closes an hour earlier in the winter months). For details contact (03) 6344 7824.

(c) The Old Umbrella Shop, 60 George Street, Launceston.
Built from Tasmanian blackwood in the 1860s, and owned for three generations by the Shott family, this shop now houses the National Trust Gift Shop and Information Centre and is open from 9.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 9.00 a.m. - noon on Saturday. It is an excellent, and rare, example of a Victorian shopfront and interior which are basically intact. Telephone: (03) 6331 9248.

(d) Waverley Woollen Mills
Located 5 km from the centre of Launceston the Waverley Woollen Mills were established in 1874. This is Australia's oldest woollen mill. It also has a hydro electric generating plant which dates back to 1889 and which the company claims to be the oldest in the southern hemisphere. Conducted tours of the mill are available (they take about 30-40 minutes) between 9.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m. Monday to Friday and the showroom is open (it sells garments made from the factory's products) from 9.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m. Monday to Friday.

(f) City Park
Located at the north-western edge of the central business district the City Park (sometimes referred to as Monkey Park) is five hectares of lawns, flower beds, beautiful European deciduous trees, a kangaroo enclosure and a monkey island, and the fascinating John Hart conservatory with its colourful hothouse blooms.
