Although it's possible to drive via the Midlands from Launceston to Hobart, it is recommended that you allow much more time to explore the region rather than just passing through otherwise you will miss out on so much. Known as the Heritage Highway, time moves slowly in these parts and you're encouraged to do the same. Relax and unwind as you enjoy taking in the quaint colonial towns and delightful villages home to English trees, stone bridges, church spires and Georgian cottages. Take the time to truly soak up the beauty and history of the Tasmanian Midlands, you'll be glad you did.
