With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that Launceston, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be City Park, Brisbane Street Mall and Cataract Gorge. The locals will also probably point you toward Westbury, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Westbury Maze. (But we’re also huge fans of Westbury Sports Centre and John Temple Gallery.)
