Launceston is a small city in the north of Tasmania, population approximately
98,000, located at the juncture of the North Esk, South Esk, and
Tamar rivers. It is the second largest city in Tasmania and 18th
largest in Australia. Like many Australian cities and towns, it was
named after a town in the United Kingdom—in this case, Launceston(different
pronunciation), Cornwall.
Europeans originally settled at the mouth of the Tamar River at George Town in 1804 but moved to the present site of Launceston in 1805. As such, it is Australia's third oldest city (after Sydney and the state capital, Hobart) and has a lot of historical buildings and sights.
The City Park, which includes an enclosure
for Japanese Macaque monkeys, a gift from the sister-city of Ikeda,
Japan
The Boags Brewery, which produces one of Australia's premium beers.
Launceston is the home of Aurora Stadium (a.k.a. York Park), which is the state's only first-class sports ground equipped with lights for evening games. As a result, two of the Melbourne teams, Hawthorn and St Kilda, have agreed to play a small number of AFL (Australian football) games there each year.
