A Swiss Village in Australia? Who knew 🤷🏼‍ A Swiss Village in Australia? Who knew 🤷🏼‍♀️ Grindelwald is located in North East Tasmania on the grounds of @tamarvalleyresort, only a 15 minute drive from Launceston 🙌🏻 You can just pop in quickly or stay for the bistro, bakery, lolly shop, mini golf, paddle boats, pedal karts and stay the night in the accommodation 🤩 I’d also recommend taking the short walk up to the Tamarhorn Lookout with a gorgeous rotunda to mark the top 👀 I know it’s not exactly Switzerland but this could be the next best thing for anyone who wants a taste of Switzerland or who is missing those gorgeous swiss villages from a past vacation - I know I am 😍 I first visited this place in 2021 and had to come back to see it again - have you been? 🤭 . . . #tasmania #discovertasmania #seeaustralia #travelaustralia #swissvillagetasmania
