Perth

A short hop from Launceston Airport, Perth is a heritage town with easy access to a wealth of natural and cultural attractions. 

Stop by the quaint post office to pick up a National Trust brochure detailing the town’s 40-plus historic buildings, and stretch the legs on a self-guided walk that takes in the Baptist and Methodist churches, charming homes and historic shopfronts.

Drop in to the Tasmanian Honey Company to stock up on prized, floral-scented Tasmanian leatherwood honey, sourced from beehives placed in remote areas of rainforest.

Where

Perth is a 15min drive (17km) south of Launceston.

Insider tip

• Drop in at Adams Distillery on Perth’s southern outskirts to taste its whiskies and gins, including one flavoured with blueberries and lavender.
