More from the fountain in Princes Square. I understand that the absolute top feature of the fountain was removed before it was installed, on account of, er, public taste (I understand it featured some kind of nudity). Whether it's true or not, it's still a beautiful fountain and for many visitors it's one of Launceston's most unexpected features.
