The drive from Launceston to Hobart is a short two hour affair if done without stops and without taking any time to appreciate the scenery or the landscapes. That would be a tragic mistake - the pristine landscapes of the long open valley that you travel down are dotted with small settlements that have really retained a 19th Century feel
