Hobart to Launceston — Midland Highway
Hobart to Launceston is 200km via the Midland Highway (A1), which runs north through Kempton, Oatlands and Ross — a scenic rural route through Tasmania's midlands. The drive is 2 to 2.5 hours. The highway is mostly two lanes with some overtaking zones; it is the main freight artery between the two major Tasmanian cities.
The 9am Hobart cutoff for same-day Launceston delivery means a driver departing Hobart at 9am arrives in Launceston CBD by 11:30am–noon. This leaves the afternoon for metro Launceston delivery. For early deliveries in Launceston (before noon), an 8am or earlier Hobart pickup is needed.
What goes on this route
- Business documents and samples between Hobart government offices and Launceston firms
- Medical supplies and equipment between Hobart and Launceston hospitals
- Freight for the Royal Hobart Hospital and Launceston General Hospital corridors
- Agricultural and food industry samples between the two cities
The Midland Highway can be affected by ice and frost in winter mornings — the midlands plateau is exposed and cold. For winter same-day runs, book with an early departure and allow an extra 20–30 minutes for the midlands section.
