Introducing Tamar Valley
Sliding slowly north past orchards, forests, pastures and vineyards, the Tamar River links Launceston with Bass Strait. This district, along with the nearby Pipers River Region are two of Tasmania’s leading wine-producing areas, heartily embracing the notion of eat, drink and be merry. Batman Bridge, the Tamar’s only bridge, spans the river near Deviot. The Tamar Visitors Information Centre (1800 637 989, 03-6394 4454; www.tamarvalley.com.au; Main Rd, Exeter; 8.30am-5pm) is in Exeter in the West Tamar Valley.
