Launceston Tramway Museum

Launceston had trams until 1952, when the rails were ripped up and the carriages sold off. Now you can visit this volunteer-staffed museum to take a ride on the lustrously restored No 29, on a little track that runs out past Aurora Stadium. The stories of what happened to all the old carriages are nerdishly fascinating.
