Perth Accommodation, Hotels, Tours & Information

Perth

Perth, with a population of around 1800, was settled in 1821, and is about 15 kilometres (9 miles) south of Launceston. It has a number of historic buildings, notably churches (Baptist and Methodist) and inns. Explore the historic town walk (the post office has brochures), see the wooden carved sculptures at the Lions Train Park and then taste unique leatherwood honey at the Tasmanian Honey Company. Perth is the point where you turn from the A1 Highway, north-west to the B52, the B54 and eventually to Devonport. The nearby South Esk River is a popular fishing spot.
