When in Hobart take the drive to Launceston. It will take around two and a half hours, including a short pit stop. This is a well maintained highway that passes through many interesting towns and villages. Not far out of Hobart you will start to drive through the rolling countryside. This is mostly farmlands. About half way along your trip you will find the historic town of Oatlands. Oatlands is an historic town with wonderful antique and curio shops along the main street. During your trip you will notice cut out figures of different convict day scenes. This adds a great deal of interest for the kids, something very interesting to look out for. You may also notice some topiary along the way, shapes of all kinds. You can quite easily make this drive in one day, however it is a long drive, and I think I would recommend an overnight stay in Launceston. If you stop in Campbell Town, take a walk from about the pub up to the shops and then again back from the park opposite the shops to the IGA store, and you will be able to read the names of the convicts, which ship they sailed to Australia on and if known, what happened to them. This is a great walk, with details about the convicts’ crime; it is easy to see what an unjust system was capable of. Campbell Town is around one and a half hours north of Hobart on the Midlands Highway. Enjoy your Tassie holiday and book your car rental easily with carhirehobartairport.com.au.
