Cataract Gorge Reserve was the first place we visited after landing in Launceston, having heard all the rave reviews — and it absolutely lived up to them. The scenery was stunning and the wildlife was incredible. I can’t believe there’s no entry fee for a place like this. We went swimming both in the gorge and in the pool, and both were awesome. We saw heaps of peacocks roaming around (some of them even put on a proper show) and were lucky enough to spot an echidna (my favourite animal) which genuinely made my day. We walked around the entire gorge and also did the Zig Zag Track. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I’ll definitely be back.

Great place to visit could spend days here but we moved on. Great facilities, swimming pool, cafe, restroom, a band stand. A suspension bridge, floa and fauna and walking tracks. There is a cable car for a fee and I recommend doing it.
