Perth is a historic town on Tasmania near the South Esk River, just south of Launceston on the Midland Highway. Its streets hold heritage buildings and a quiet riverside character that rewards a slower visit. Northern Midlands Council has current Perth visitor information. (opens in a new tab)
Explore the historic precinct on foot, pause by the river reserve or follow the self-guided walk for local context. Check current opening times, river conditions and local advice before planning a longer visit.
