Rivers & Railways


Enjoy a guided museum tour of the Don River Railway. The museum houses Tasmania’s largest collection of steam locomotives dating from 1879 to 1951. Recreate the past on a pleasant 30 minute train ride with historic locomotives and rolling stock. Visit Launceston, Tasmania’s second-largest city, located where the North and South Esk rivers meet and the Tamar River begins its journey to Bass Strait. Enjoy some sightseeing, explore and take in the architecture, the gardens that lace the streets. The Tamar River once served Launceston as a major shipping and transport ‘highway’ and remains central to the lifestyle. Steeped in romance and studded with tales of bushrangers, take a private Cataract Gorge Cruise with full commentary. Learn about the region’s fascinating history and fauna. Special Notes: Lunch is not included but can be purchased at your own expense during your free time in Launceston. Please wear comfortable flat-soled shoes, clothing suited to the weather conditions, a hat and jacket, plenty of biodegradable sunscreen and bring bottled water. Order of sights visited may vary on the day.
