With a mission statement to sustain, inspire and create, the Design Centre of Tasmania puts the focus on good design and sustainability.

The center was established to stimulate the creation of high-quality Tasmanian craft and design. Today, only Tasmanian-created items are exhibited and sold, and the work of emerging craftspeople and designers is highlighted. Around 16 exhibitions are hosted annually.

The Design Centre is also home to the Wood Design Collection, Australia’s first collection of contemporary wood designs.

The retail gallery is another highlight, selling top-quality designs in glass, wood, ceramics and textiles. Take-home gifts include locally designed and crafted jewelry, furniture, homewares and furnishings.

Doing what: Launceston City Sightseeing Tour

Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and left the group with an appropriate amour of flexibility. Recommended if you want to truly appreciate this beautiful city.

Doing what: Launceston City Sightseeing Tour

Except for the rain, it was a very informative tour. The bus driver even dropped us back at our hotel.

Doing what: Launceston City Sightseeing Tour

I really enjoyed Tasmania and the Hobart City Tour, but would not recommend the Launceston city to anyone. The bus was half an hour late, we were the only ones on the bus and felt like pests. The tour didn't go for the time mentioned in the brochure, and we left the tour with no knowledge of Launceston.
