It’s easy to spend a day
exploring the Tamar Valley.

In fact, it’s easy to find things to do for several days! The Tamar River (aka kanamaluka) starts in Launceston and heads into the Bass Strait 70 km later at Low Head.

Beauty Point is a tiny township located 47 km north of Launceston on the western side of the Tamar river.
