The Town

Deloraine is a delightful riverside town with an historic streetscape classified by the National Trust and is known for its rich heritage, scenic beauty, and proximity to the Great Western Tiers and Cradle Mountain.

Deloraine is known for Australia's biggest working craft fair held over 3 days in November each year where more than 200 exhibitors show everything from kites to candle wicks, kaleidoscopes to fine silkscreen paintings, woodcarvings, lead lights and hand-blown glassware.

Outside of festival time, arts and crafts still dominate with the town's many local galleries, craft shops and antique stores.

Deloraine's streets are lined with Georgian and Victorian buildings and make for a charming morning or afternoon stroll. The town's excellent bakeries and cafes are also popular local hotspots.

Farm experiences in the area include award-winning salmon, honey, raspberries and cheese, and the flora and fauna of Tasmania's world-famous national parks including the limestone caves of Mole Creek Karst National Park.

The town is a good base from which to explore Liffey Falls, Cradle Mountain, the Great Western Tiers, Mole Creek and the Central Highlands.

Deloraine is a 40-min drive from Launceston or Devonport.
