Beautiful place to walk, hike, swim, feed the birds or just stand and stare at the Great Outdoor. Admire the natural beauty, breathe the fresh air and enjoy the quiet. A must visit if you are in Launceston. Entrance is free but a fee is charged for the chairlift ride. 2 hours of my time well spent checking out the many trails and lookout points. Not as spectacular as Cradle Mountain but Cataract Gorge is more accessible from Launceston.
This is a beautiful place in Launceston in Tasmania. Worth going to this place if you are visiting Launceston. There are plenty of parking, but you need to pay for parking, which is nominal fee. This is scenic place. They is an old hanging bridge, long rope way etc. You need to pay for using the rope way. There are places for tail walk. There is an open swimming pool as well, but wasn't open. You can walk through the area and take beautiful photos. There is a coffee shop in the precinct and you can dine in. Main attraction is scenery, trail walking, hanging bridge, rope way etc. This is well maintained is a tourist attraction in Tasmania.
I visited the reserve whilst it was raining, although the reserve was flooded it did not detract from the view or experience. If you are able, I would recommend a one way ticket for the cable chair provides a leisurely ride up cataract George, you're able to see a lovely overhead view of the reserve. Once you have reached the top, it is a lovely ~15min stroll down through Alexandria bridge to return back to the start. If you have more time set aside for the day, I highly recommend you check out the hikes available at the reserve, there are different intensities available. Playground: 2 playgrounds located in the vicinity. One at the entrance at cataract George reserve, right below the ticket booth before you purchase tickets for the cable chairs and one located at the top of the cable chairs. However the playground at the top tends to get muddy during rainy weather. The playground at the entrance is much larger. Restrooms: Restrooms are scattered throughout the reserve, it's best to use the restrooms before you use the cable chairs to head upwards.
I was happy to see the main trail is pram friendly, makes it so much easier. Cost us $1.70 for 90 minutes parking. Chairlift was fantastic fun, reasonably priced too. Children's playground had a tunnel slide, water/sand play, hamster wheel & swings. Suspension bridge was wobbly fun.
It's a must-see if you're in Launceston. Beautiful place to walk, hike, swim, or just stand and stare at nature. Relax, breathe fresh air, and enjoy the peace and quiet. Close to Launceston's center, this place is great for families. Besides having a free swimming pool, it also has some great walking trails. There is a great restaurant with views of the pool and gorge, as well as a stunning walk along the Gorge.
What a beautiful asset to Launceston. This Gorge is a must for any tourist visiting Launceston. It's about a 25 min walk from the CBD but you can also catch the free bus here too. I took the easier Gorge walk - about a 15 min to the end of Gorge with amazing scenery every step of the way. The chairlift and suspension bridge is accessible at the end the Gorge with parking near by. Highly recommended.
This is a beautiful spot so close to Launceston, you can walk to it from the city, we drove though. We did the a short walk around the water and across the suspension bridge and chairlift back which was approx an hour. The view is stunning, the bridge does have a little bit of movement whilst walking across and the chairlift was very smooth.
Is a very nice place to see during your stay in Launceston. Lots of walking trails! You exercise while exploring nature Affordable chairlift to carry you across the valley, affordable parking, swimming pool to cool yourself down after a long walk during a hot day, plus Cafe and a restaurant as well as shopping centres, playground. Barbecue area and restroom. It is family-friendly...
Big and beautiful park and very pleasing to the eyes. Very tranquil place. We took the chairlift to and fro for $20 per adult. Met with many wildlife, peacocks, peahens, wallabies, different species of birds. A lot of walking and you can get good exercise. We can just follow the trail to Alexandra suspension bridge where you can watch the constant rapids hitting the stones and rocks below. Soothing to the ear. There's a swimming pool before the banks. Cool place and we love it here.
We have been here a couple of times but this time because of the floods, it was amazing to see. The water was very rapid. The pool wasn't there as the water had made it disappear. It was a beautiful walk around. Highlight definately the suspension bridge. There are 2 restaurants around. Flowers were blooming, frogs were heard and the peacocks were gorgeous. Parking available at $2 for 2 hours. You need if you are going to the restaurant at least 3 hours to enjoy it's beauty. The free Tiger Bus travels there too. Highly recommend
