Getting here
A place where adventure, culture and luxury converge, Tasmania offers something for everyone. There's no better way to start experiencing the splendours of our magical island than taking in a weekend of the very best entertainment and activities on offer. Not to mention an abundance of local Tassie produce. And lucky for you, Breath of Life will showcase the very best of what Australia has to offer.
The Breath of Life Festival will be held on the 10th and 11th of March 2012 at Inveresk Park, Launceston. We welcome all who make the journey to share our experience and hope you get a chance to stick around and have a good look around this amazing island of ours!
If you like four wheel driving through roaring surf, mountain peaks and remote lakes, rafting gorges, rapids, and waterfalls, trekking through ancient rainforests and rugged coastlines, or just kicking back as you soak up the breathtaking scenery and world-class selection of food and wine, there is no better place to start than Launceston. Launceston Tamar Valley is situated in the central north of Tasmania, and roughly half a day to anywhere on the Island! A simple 2.5 hours from the World Heritage listed Cradle Valley, granite formations on the East Coast, spectacular Wineglass Bay, (and even Hobart!) Launceston Tamar Valley truly is the Heart of our island State.
