68 Cameron Street,
Launceston TAS 7250 Directions

Since 1906

Specialty:

✓ Historical Places ✓ Technology

“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 and the Town Hall service centre. The Launceston Centenary Clock & Chimes reflect the rich history of Launceston.

2025 Update: Launceston Centenary Clock & Chimes have 40914 monuments that are currently recorded.”

FRANKLIN HOUSE REVIEWS

Attended a beautiful High Tea, and was seated at a table for 7 with friends, in a beautifully decorated, solitary room, surrounded by old artefacts, framed pictures and antiques. The High Tea was delicious, with ample servings and tea and coffee on offer, with both pots refilled, and hot chocolate available for the children upon request. The service was amazing, and great value at $30.00 per person. You're able to stroll around the gardens and look in the old rooms and stable at your leisure. Stunning setting and magnificent surrounds. Highly recommend this venue all round, will most certainly return. Ample easy parking, and a few toilets available which were fresh and clean. Thank you for a fabulous afternoon High Tea, 10/10 all round!!

A must-visit Gem, so close to town! The building didn’t give us much choice! We had to pull over and visit, such a pretty house and beautiful garden. We took our time exploring and imagining what it was like way-back-when! Our guide was very helpful, friendly and our little one loved her :) a must visit when in Launceston.

Really fabulous home with beautiful antique pieces throughout. Brilliant volunteer staff and a glorious garden. I'm looking forward to high tea there soon!

LAUNCESTON TRAMWAY MUSEUM REVIEWS

Excellent staff, very friendly,professional and polite, volunteers were amazing. We all enjoyed the ride including my 5 years old daughter. Very old trams but in excellent condition, staff doing really hard work to keep the old things still alive. Definitely worth a visit.

Very good display with lots of history of the local trams and the network that served the city. Run by friendly passionate volunteers and a very very reasonable price to ride the tram.

Good experience, passionate volenteer's. Had a good look around. Miseum is free only a few bucks to have a ride on the tram.

LAUNCESTON CENTENARY CLOCK & CHIMES REVIEWS

Interesting to see and hear the chimes, opposite the gorgeous Town Hall building.Visitors info centre next door. There are so many beautiful well maintained historic buildings in Launceston, all of which to see on foot. We spent 4-5 hours just walking around admiring them.

An excellent guide to getting your bearings when travelling around the inner CBD, visit the information bureau & ask about the free tiger bus that does a good loop around town, get on & off as you want to.

This clock is in working condition and chimes on the quarter-hour all day long. So lovely to see from the center of the city.
