Australia by Car

Launceston in North-East Tasmania offers the ultimate holiday experience. Tasmania’s second oldest city, it is tucked away in the Tamar Valley where the Tamar and South Esk Rivers meet - a region whose natural beauty is matched by its rich history. The seasonal trees that line the river and the main streets provide visitors with an everchanging kaleidoscope of colour, and will probably encourage people to hop into their hire car and explore the Tamar Valley further. With an excellent reputation for its sparkling wines and pinots, a tour of the many vineyards in the Valley is going to be interesting and educational experience.

But the tour that gets everyone talking in Launceston is the James Boags Brewery Tour. The Tour starts in the Tamar Hotel, at the Boags Centre for Beer Lovers, and concludes in the same place. Through its ninety minute length you will go on a circuit of the entire brewery, from the brew house to the packaging line. Along the way you will learn of the history of Boags from when it was formed in the 1880’s right up to the present day. You will watch the beer making process and experience all the types of beers by touch, sight and smell!

Tours operate every weekday, and cost 25 bucks for adults, and 22 bucks discounted or for children. And if its a cheap deal your looking for on a hire car, then visit car hire.
