#Cataract Gorge Reserve Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Beautiful Nature Reserve in Launceston
We had half a day to fill in Launceston before our flight home and stumbled upon this peaceful and scenic nature reserve by chance.
Tucked away behind a residential area you wouldn't think of finding such an open area like this but it is well worth the trip if you are in Launceston. There are a couple of easy walking tracks and a couple for more ambitious walkers as well as a fun gondola and cafe for those who like to take it easy. We started our visit in the cafe and ended there as well because the food was so delicious.

Cataract Gorge, Launceston
Great trip to Cataract Gorge. Took the chairlift which travels at appropriate speed, allowing you to take in the views around you and below. Be sure to wear covered shoes since your legs will be dangling in the air. We took the chair for both ways as we are travelling with seniors and it's very very very cold. You can also buy 1 way and then walk to the other side or walk back from the other side. It should be a very scenic walk and I would suggest that you buy 1 way and walk the other leg if you can. Since its winter now, be prepared to wear thick clothings or layer yourself up. A good day trip if you are visiting Launceston. #wintertime #cataractgorge #launceston #tasmania
Cataract Gorge follow by drive to Bicheno.
Wonderful Time at Cataract Gorge, Launceston. The chairlift travels at an appropriate pace, allowing you to take in the scenery below and around you. Then off to Campbell Town for pit stop cum lunch. Continue our journey to Bicheno where we will stay over for a night. As it is winter now, sun sets around 4.4xpm. Took pics of sunset, crescent appearing in the sky and after sun has set. Rested a while and we went for lobster at Lobster Shack Tasmania. The lobster meat is firm, chunky and fresh. Size is big too. Also had chilled prawns and seafood platter. All are nice. #wintergetaway #tasmania #cataractgorge #seafood #bicheno
Breezing thru Cataract Gorge Reserve on the Basin Walk

Launceston's Best Park.
🏨 Cataract Gorge Reserve
🚩H43C+92 West Launceston, Tasmania, Australia
✔️ It was a park that I hesitated a lot about whether to visit because it's hard to get to without a rental car, but in the end, I think it was the best choice among all the places I visited in Launceston. There are peacocks wandering around the park, and even just taking a short walk around, it's the best place where you can feel various atmospheres.
Some of moment trip Singapore-Melbourne-Tasmania-Perth-Kuala Lumpur.
Gorge-ous
Idyllic natural surrounds to enjoy on foot or by cable car. Multiple access point via car, ample parking, eateries and trails.
Scenic Hike At Cataract Gorge
Cataract Gorge is a very easy hike but it takes long to reach the end of the hike, approx about 2-3 hours return hike.
This is one of the premier tourist attractions in Launceston, Tasmania with the popular suspension bridge across the basin.
Cataract Gorge has many walking tracks which cater to everyone. The gorge provides a wonderful environment for a casual stroll, and also contains a wealth of more advanced tracks with great views that bushwalking enthusiasts are sure to appreciate. Walks like the Zig-zag track, Cataract walk and Bridge walk loop are casual, scenic walks just 5 mins from the CBD. There was a swimming pool there that seems to say its open online but when we went it was close, possibly due to the cold winter months.
Plan your trip here as there are couple of things to do and see. For example the Gorge cruise, dining, chairlift and if you are lucky you might see some wildlife in their natural habitat.
There is no entrance fee here and also parking is free. They have ample parking spaces so you do not need to worry but still recommended to go early.

Cataract Gorge Reserve, located in the southwest of downtown Launceston, can be reached in more than a decade by car. Here people walk along forests, canyons, streams, chat in galleries, cafes, or take a cable car to see the panoramic view of the reserve from the air. The
protected area is also home to many animals. The kangaroos walk freely in the woods; next to the colorful hydrangea, the peacock opens and the flowers are beautiful; this is the most peacock screen I have ever seen, the longest time It is also the closest contact!
Good envy of the people of Launceston, there is a beautiful sanctuary close at hand, which can be easily and freely enjoyed at any time, so I want to take my little Q to play and walk here... just because of a park I fell in love with this city.
