The first population of the area of Launceston had been largely nomadic Aboriginal Tasmanians believed to were a part of the North Midlands Tribe. The first white visitors did not arrive till 1798, when George Bass and Matthew Flinders were despatched to explore the possibility that there has been a strait among Australia and Van Diemen's Land. They firstly landed in Port Dalrymple, 40 kilometres to the north-west of Launceston.
