The Heart of Launceston

CATARACT GORGE is visible from the West Tamar highway and just spectacular, this is the view from the cable car, that takes you across the first basin. As you can see there is a public pool and some school children were utilising it. Behind the suspension bridge is a walk that takes you to the Duck Reach power station, we hope to do that walk another day.
CATARACT GORGE After crossing the first basin we walked up the left hand side in the photo - zigzag track and then across King bridge and along the Cataract walk, great views both ways, then under the cable car and across the suspension bridge, so a good bit of exercise. A beautiful day, it got to 25 degrees.

LAUNCESTON After visiting the gorge, we went up to a lookout and had cup of tea that we had bought with us then headed down to the city and had a wander around. An easy to get around city then went to the Art Gallery and Museum, easy to spend a couple of hours there.
