On your drive to the Central Highlands, we recommend to stop at Quamby Bluff, the northernmost peak in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Enjoy panoramic views of northern Tasmania including the Central Plateau and Great Western Tiers. The walk takes you through the rainforest and over scree as it winds its way to the summit. The original inhabitants of the area were the Pallittorre Clan of the northern nation of Aboriginal Tasmanians. Lartitickitheker is the Aboriginal name for Quamby Bluff.

On the drive to Launceston, duck into the town of Tunbridge, where the convict-built 1848 Blackman River Bridge is Australia's oldest wooden span bridge. Admire Tunbridge Manor, one of three coaching inns that once served the town. Today it's a stately private residence. Hit Ross in time for lunch at one of its two bakeries. Bakery 31 is famed for its scallop pies, while Ross Village Bakery is known for its “world’s greatest” vanilla slice. Tasmania's merino industry began in the Midlands around Ross in the 1830s and is celebrated in the Tasmanian Wool Centre, which features a re-created shearing shed, galleries and one of the state's largest retail areas dedicated to woollens.
The town of Ross is the perfect size to explore on foot. Stroll past the red phone boxes on the main street and pick up the phone to listen to audio stories of the town's history. Ross Bridge, built in 1836 by convicts, spans the Macquarie River. The 186 carvings on Australia's third-oldest bridge were considered so exquisite that the stonemasons were issued free pardons. End your walk at the Ross Female Factory Historic Site, a probation station for female convicts and their babies in the mid-19th century. It's one of four female factories built in Tasmania, and regarded as the most archaeologically intact female convict site in Australia.
Brickendon is one of Tasmania's oldest farming properties, settled in 1824 by William Archer. In 2010, Brickendon Estate along with its neighbouring property, Woolmers Estate were listed jointly as a World Heritage Site being part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property. We highly recommend a stop in Brickendon to experience the remarkable rural landscape, magnificent heritage gardens, amazing collection of convict constructed buildings, family history and memorabilia.
One of Launceston’s landmarks, the 1830s flour mill that has housed Stillwater’s award-winning restaurant offers more than just one of the best culinary experiences in Tasmania — now you can sleep at Stillwater!
