Since 1906

“Launceston Centenary Clock & Chimes serve as a tribute to the city's centenary, celebrated in 1906. When the centenary plaque was unveiled, the clock and chimes were handed over to the town in 1910. The official handover of the clock and chimes, constructed in the Post Office tower, to the City Council, took place on July 11th, with a large gathering at the Town Hall that included Senator Keating and the aldermen. The tower is a dominant architectural feature in the surrounding precinct and marks the historical centre of town, which includes government offices, the State Library, and the Town Hall service centre. The Launceston Centenary Clock & Chimes reflect the rich history of Launceston.”
