Launceston Crime & Punishment Walking Tour

Step into Launceston's darker past on this evening walking tour run by Launceston By Foot. Over about two hours, a live English-speaking guide leads a small group of up to 15 people through the city's public streets, sharing stories and historical insights into crime and punishment in Launceston. The tour starts at 17:30 at Civic Square, at the Town Hall end beside the thylacine statues, and finishes around 19:30 on Brisbane Street, near Launceston's dining precinct; your guide can walk you back to the starting point if needed. Expect a considerable amount of walking, including stairs, so wear walking shoes and warm clothing, and bring a water bottle and rain gear depending on the weather. The stories include mature and potentially distressing historical content, and participants must be aged 15 or over. It is a way for history lovers and curious visitors to discover a different side of Launceston on foot in the evening.
