This would be one of the highlights of Tazzy. From the Swiss village to the platypus house to the wineries and the Lavender farm there is plenty for everyone. The best way to travel is by hire car. Everyone was friendly and willing to share ideas and it made for an excellent day. The distances are short and the roads... More

Beautiful place to spend couple of hours or whole day. Amazing park, chairlift, swimming pool, lots of beautiful male and female peacocks, wallabies, good bird life. We took the chairlift, enjoyed the view, took a short walk across the park. Stop to eat in the cafe close to the entrance. Expensive for a cafe, we were waiting about 30 min... More

Take a stop at the top of Brady's Lookout, named after the bushranger Matthew Brady for a complete view of the Tamar Valley. Breathtaking!

Nice area for a day drive out of Launceston. Great little vineyards to drop in for a winetasting. Also worth checking out the Seahorse farm/aquarims. Plenty of places to stop along the way. Great day out.

If you just want to wander of for a day and see where you get to - then you'll be spoilt for choice, wineries, galleries, eateries, beautiful scenery, history, seahorses, mines, happy locals. Grab the Valley tourist booklet and off you go. Make sure you get to Artisan Gallery for high class pottery, woodwork and art - where you can... More

There is so much to see and do from the wineries to the berry farms and of course Grindelwald the Swiss village which has a fabulous bakery. The souveniire shops are really good with lots of uncommon gifts. Take your time at each winery they are all very special with many unique wines to taste.

Very quiet little hamlets with not many people out and about as it was a Monday morning.We could not find anywhere open in the small townships along the Tamar... More

Takes about half a day to do the route at leisure. There are lots of cellar door wine tastings available. We stopped at Tamar Ridge, Kayena for a tasty cheese platter, 3 cheeses, biscuits, apple and quince for $28. Although outside of the Tamar Valley, Josef Chromy vineyard at Relbia is worth a visit on the way back to the... More
