I did the full lap on a sunny day. Took a bit over an hour. I wish I had the time to hike further. The high side is a bit of a climb but worth it to see the wildlife.

Cannot believe such a wonderful treasure exists on the door step of the city. Came in via the zig zag track (not for the unfit!). Also completed the additional walk down to the Duck Reach suspension bridge. Wasn't sure about parking so parked over by the Tamar River Cruises site - 4 hours for free and a pleasant 20 minute...

Went to the Gorge for a look and enjoyed it greatly. The chair lift is a little daunting at first but you will enjoy it and a great view of the area. The price was $10 one way or $15 return which was not bad value, very nice kept grounds and during the summer there is a pool which is... More

We thought it would be nice here but didnt realise we would nearly spend a whole day here. It was just peaceful and so close to the main part of Launceston. We enjoyed a lunch at the cafe, done the chair lift as well as walked around a bit. You probably only need about 1/2 a day here, but if... More

Beautiful weather and location for the Duck Reach walk! Definitely worth the effort! The cafe at First Basin was a little pricey, so we headed back into the city for food.

Chair lift was fantastic the gorge holds great views and photo opportunities and it is moderately priced. There are Great walking tracks and board walks best of all there is no gift shop.

Only a short trip outside of the main part of town & you arrive in a beautiful & tranquil place. I remember my first trip here I couldn't believe such a beautiful place existed such a short drive from town. Perfect place for a short stroll or if you're super keen and the outdoors you can easily spend an entire... More

A great place to get some exercise by walking along the sides of the gorge to the lovely oasis when you get to the pool area with the lively peacocks. Take a walk along the suspension bridge or a ride on the charilift or a bite to eat at the cafe.

I lived in launceston for 3 years and this was my favourite place by far! A chair lift is definitely a must, plenty of facilities for a picnic and so many walking paths to choose from with magnificent scenery.
