Evandale: Launceston Airport
Launceston Airport straddles the open pastoral plains of Tasmania’s Northern Midlands, and that position has made it the principal air link for Launceston, the Tamar Valley and much of the island’s north. Near Evandale, it joins a small Georgian-era townscape to Tasmania’s second-largest city and the wider regional network. The South Esk River crosses the broader Launceston district before meeting the Tamar River in the city. Evandale is known for its preserved nineteenth-century streetscape and for the National Penny Farthing Championships. Runways, terminal buildings, farmland and low tree lines give the site a distinctly rural setting, reflecting the agricultural character of the surrounding Midlands.

Evandale combines a compact Georgian streetscape with an active rural calendar in a way that reflects its historic position in Tasmania’s Northern Midlands. Set near the South Esk River, the town retains an unusually coherent collection of early colonial buildings, with verandas, brick facades and broad streets giving its centre a distinctly nineteenth-century character. Clarendon, the nearby Georgian estate on the river, recalls the pastoral wealth that shaped this part of northern Tasmania. Each February, the Evandale Village Fair brings the National Penny Farthing Championships to town, a notably local tradition that turns heritage streets into a sporting course.
