Tasmania Campervan Touring: Deloraine

Deloraine's surrounds are the stuff postcards are made of. On the banks of the wide Meander River in the north west, it sprawls amongst the foothills of the Great Western Tiers.

The picture perfect setting makes it the perfect Tasmania Campervan Hire holiday, and the diversity of landscapes in the nearby regions means your touring holiday will be an exciting and invigorating Tasmanian experience. Situated just 48 kilometres from Launceston, Deloraine is easily accessible if you pick up your campervan hire there.

The town is charming and historically interesting, with attractive architecture and a spacious feel. There are plenty of craft shops stocking locally made arts and crafts, and a walk through the town will take you past numerous heritage listed buildings. Bonneys Inn is a popular one to visit, built in 1830 it was the first legal hotel in the town. The Folk Museum is also popular, and reflects the life of a country publican and his family.

Deloraine is the perfect base for your Tasmanian holiday because of its proximity to so many natural attractions. From here you can hop in your campervan and explore Cradle Mountain, the Great Western Tiers, Mole Creek and the Central Highlands. Mole Creek Karst National Park is a popular destination because of its limestone caves with their impressive stalagtites.

Deloraine is noted for the stunning waterfalls lying nearby, and at least part of your holidays should be spent taking some of these in. Montana Falls are nine kilometres from town, and are reached via a short bushwalk. The larger and more impressive Lobster Falls are a bit of a further drive away, and the walk to reach them takes an hour. The extra effort is definitely worth it though. Don't miss Westmoreland Falls either.
