We used Launceston Drive Park Fly whilst on our recent holiday to the mainland. The people were very easy to deal with and very helpful from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The shuttle service was ready without delay and our luggage was loaded for us. Upon our return the shuttle bus collected us without any delay and returned us to our beautifully detailed vehicle. We are very very happy with this service and will absolutely be using Launceston Drive Park Fly agaian.

Bruny Island BEST BITS and MUST DO'S thanks to Sparky's on the loose
WOW... check out this 3 and a half minute video of everything that makes Bruny Island such a special destination and our 'island off an island'.
Get up close and personal with Albino walabies (all over the Island but best spot is Adventure Bay) and fur seals (jump on board Pennicott Wilderness Journeys). Walk some of the most beautiful beaches or play on coastal tree swings.
You just must stop by Bruny Island Cheese Co. & Bruny Island Beer Co. (for some of the best cheeses in the world), Get Shucked Bruny Island Oysters (our oysters are the best), Bruny Island Chocolate Company, Bruny Island Berry Farm and taste the very best local produce at Hotel Bruny.
Witness the amazing views from The Neck, walk along Adventure Bay and trek the 2 hours to the picturesque Fluted Cape. Head south past Alonnag and all the way to Cape Bruny lighthouse (first lit in 1838).
Then jump back on the Bruny Island Ferry... knowing one day you must return.
A rich history, spectacular scenery, close-up wildlife and a variety or walking opportunities make Bruny Island a wonderful destination. You can see a lot on a day trip but, if you can, stay overnight as thereโs plenty to see and do.

An emergency services training exercise will be conducted at Launceston Airport on Wednesday 4 July between 10am and 2pm. The exercise also involves the Launceston General Hospital.
Every two years, management of Launceston Airport is required by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to conduct a field exercise at the airport to test the Airport Emergency Plan.
โThe exercise provides an excellent opportunity for emergency services to practice and refine their responses to real emergencies, in what will be a lifelike but safe environment to do so,โ Inspector Scott Flude said.
The exercise is due to conclude around 2pm, however there'll be no disruption to regular scheduled passenger flights, which will be unaffected by the exercise.
Members of the public should keep clear of access routes that emergency services may use.
โOn behalf of everyone involved we thank the public in Northern Tasmania and any travellers from interstate for their cooperation and understanding while we conduct this necessary training exercise,โ said Inspector Flude.
Any enquiries in regards to the exercise can be directed to police on 131444.

The idea of setting up a temporary home away from home, switching off your phone and immersing yourself in nature is considered one of the best forms of R&R.Today sparks the start of National Volunteers Week!
โข Volunteers donate on average 7.1 million hours per year. Without this work, the cost to replace the services undertaken by these volunteers would be at least $2.5 billion.
-Volunteering Tasmania
Whether you are helping an elderly neighbor mow their lawn, fundraising with the local school, service club or lending a hand in an emergency situation, you contributions are valued.
Remember also you are never too young or too old to volunteer.
Thank you to those that give of their time for their community!
โVolunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.โ โ Elizabeth Andrew
