What is the undercurrent?

Our city's heart

There’s something that lies beneath the surface here that defines us as a city. You may not see it at first, but the moment you step foot here, you feel it. You sense it in the architecture, in the streets, out in nature, between the people – an undercurrent, born from generations of hard work, curiosity, community, resilience, and independence.

The meeting place of three waterways, our beautiful city has been a cultural hub and gastronomic centre for more than two thousand generations.

The first to love this land were the Tasmanian Aboriginal people, who have one of the oldest continuing cultures in the world. Today, around 110,000 people from all walks of life call Launnie home. There are no tourists here – just locals and temporary locals still discovering their true north.

Hello, welcome

We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people (pakana) as the traditional custodians of this land, lutruwita, and their continuing connection to the land, sea, waterways, and skies. We pay respect to elders past and present, as they hold the memories, traditions, culture, and hope for generations to come; and to all those who continue caring for country, sharing stories, and upholding rights.
