Meander Valley’s skyline is dominated by the mountains of the Great Western Tiers, which form a dramatic backdrop to a rural landscape divided by traditional English hedges and dotted with early European settlements. The seamless combination of alpine mountains, productive farmland and historic villages gives Meander Valley its’ unique look and feel; something that visitors recognise as distinctly Tasmanian.

Positioned at the centre of Northern Tasmania, Meander Valley is only 30 minutes drive to the northern freight and passenger port in Devonport. The towns of Prospect Vale, Hadspen, Westbury, Deloraine, Elizabeth Town and Mole Creek offer easy access to world famous east coast beaches, the iconic Cradle Mountain, rugged west coast wilderness and the cosmopolitan city of Launceston.

As the largest city in Northern Tasmania, Launceston hosts the major regional facilities such as the Launceston Hospital, University of Tasmania, Australian Maritime College, Institute of TAFE, Domestic Airport and is the hub of commerce and retail business.

The Great Western Tiers is a spiritual place and a region of rare and diverse beauty. Its spectacular natural wonders, mystical moods and vibrant community makes for a truly unique experience.

Your journey throughout the Great Western Tiers will lead you to some very special places that will divert your mind, invigorate your body, and replenish your soul.

Everything that you imagined Tasmania to be can be found as you explore the pristine Meander Valley under the backdrop of the magnificent Great Western Tiers.

The region also provides fascinating insights into Aboriginal history (Kooparoona Niara is the Aboriginal name for the region) and early European settlement.
