Launceston Climate


Launceston is surrounded by several hills and mountains, which makes its weather patterns change frequently.

Autumn has a few sunny days and some rainfall, so pack a rain jacket and some sunscreen for whenever you're outdoors. Read more on What To Pack For Your Australian Self-Drive Holiday.
