Launceston: Bay of Fires Tour with Bridestowe Lavender Farm

Discover the Bay of Fires on a guided tour from Launceston. Visit granite outcrops covered in orange lichen, white sandy beaches, Bridestowe Lavender Farm, a rainforest walk, and taste fresh oysters.
Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Launceston. From the beginning of September to the end of March, your first stop is the Bridestowe Lavender Farm, home of Bobbie Bear. Enjoy views of the lavender paddocks (commercial lavender in full flower mid-December to the third week of January).

Listen as your guide provides an interactive talk on the lavender, where it comes from, why they grow it, and how they process it. Then, enjoy free time for photos and to visit the gift shop and cafe.

From the beginning of April to the end of August, the first attraction you visit is Legerwood Memorial Tree Carvings. Planted to celebrate Armistice Day, the end of the Great War, some of the trees were showing signs of disease in 2002 and unfortunately, a decision was made that they could not remain.

Instead of just cutting them out, the community arranged for a very clever man with a chainsaw to come and remove the long branches and carve figures into the trees. Each tree is dedicated to a specific World War I soldier who came from the local region.

Next, head to the Myrtle Rainforest Walk on the Welborough Pass for a short walk through moss-covered trees and ferns. Your tour guide will talk about all the different trees found in Tasmania's rainforests, with this walk showcasing Myrtles, Sassafras, Blackwoods, and ManFerns.

At the Bay Of Fires, collect a sample of fresh oysters straight from the farm—Lease 65 (subject to availability, there may be days when the farm is not open) which you enjoy as an entree to your lunch. Call into Binalong Bay for a beach experience on Tasmania's white east coast sand (as well as a lunch stop), then Harbour Point to view the granite rocks covered with orange lichens.

Finally, enjoy a beach walk along the remote Taylor’s Beach which is part of Tourism Australia's Award Winning Section 'BEST BEACHES IN AUSTRALIA 2025'. As you depart the Bay Of Fires area, stop for a break in the fishing village of St. Helens, before heading south through Beaumaris and Scamander, turning up into the St Mary’s Pass where you head inland to pass through the contrasting grazing lands of the Fingal Valley and Northern Midlands.
