Embark on the Heritage Walk: A Stroll through Launceston's Historic Heart

A troop of Japanese macaques suns itself in a Tasmanian city park while, just a stone’s throw away, a Victorian-era hall guards secrets beneath its grand tower. Launceston’s quiet streets conceal power struggles, unsolved mysteries, and the intoxicating aroma of legendary brew. This self-guided audio tour unlocks layers most visitors miss, guiding you through verdant parks, opulent halls, and storied breweries where history hides in plain sight.

Did heated debates inside Albert Hall spark city-wide unrest? What curious gift led to an unlikely monkey colony at City Park? And which pint at Boag’s Brewery was once nearly lost to scandalous sabotage?

Stride from lush gardens to ornate facades to bold brickwork. Each step brings whispered intrigue and forgotten stories to life as you see Launceston transform before your eyes.

Begin your journey now and uncover what waits behind the city’s elegant mask.
