One-way is enough, because the other leg needs to be visited In most guides, this attraction is not recommended, so when you come to Launceston, you go to Cradle Mountain, Wineglass Bay, Bay of Fires, etc. which are far away. In fact, this hidden attraction can be played for a whole day, because there are many tracks, and the journey takes several hours A must-visit attraction in Launceston, just near the city, with mountains and water, and hiking and lookout Park the car first, if you want to swim, bring a swimsuit, children need to be supervised by adults, there is a place to take a bath in the toilet, which is very convenient Then take the cable car, the water and mountains, the rocks are very beautiful, the branches are within reach on the way to arrive, the artistic environment is extraordinary After arriving on the other side, we saw kangaroos and peacocks as soon as we came down, which was beautiful Then walk through some lookouts, that is, viewing points. If you have enough time, you can come for a few hours before going up the bridge. They are all in the mountains and forests, and they are very refreshing even on hot days. Take a photo of the scenery from this direction. Through the green trees, the swimming pool and the viewing house on the mountain have a unique charm. After that, you can go up the bridge and watch the river flow up and down, as well as the scenery below. The river is gurgling and the birds are singing. Tourists are pointing and talking on the bridge. After crossing the bridge, don't go back. There is a hiking trail next to the cliff. There are many viewing spots behind. If you have little time, you can walk a short distance inside to enjoy. Suggestion: You can come for a whole day for a family tour. Parking for a whole day is 6 Australian dollars. Swim first, or come back to swim at the end. Girls should prepare sun hats, sunglasses, and apply sunscreen.

The canyon is located on the edge of Launceston. It takes only 10 minutes to drive from the big4 campsite where we stayed. The scenic spot has its own parking lot, and you can pay by yourself. If there is no parking space inside, you need to park your car on the side of the road and climb a very steep slope for about 2 minutes to reach the scenic spot. This is definitely a good place for a weekend city vacation.

The King's Bridge, built in 1867, spans the canyon. It feels amazing and pleasant to walk on this ancient bridge. The South Bank of the canyon is Tasmania's first basin, surrounded by swimming pools and woodlands. The North Bank of the tree-shaded Canyon is a cliff area, a Victorian garden, with a variety of special ferns and rich vegetation.

Shortly after leaving the mural town, he arrived at the Cadenet Canyon Reserve. This place is not big. It has an open-air swimming pool and a large piece of green grass. On the grass, there are many sunbathers, and the white birds walking in the idle courtyard (think they are pigeons, but they are different from the domestic ones), which are very leisure. You can either ride or walk on what is said to be the longest one-way aerial cable car in the world. The cable car is a double car, open type. It's pleasant to sit on it and look down at the canyons and grasslands, and then blow the wind. A pontoon bridge over the canyon swayed slightly. But the people who stand on the bridge and watch the water play in the canyon under the bridge are very happy. By the way, there are also colorful flowers here, especially the rare blue flowers, which make my eyes bright. There are peacocks beside the flowers, but the peacocks here are more unrestrained, the boss's call frightened me, and even flew to the tree. It's amazing.

The advantage is that it is very close to the city centre and can be accessed on foot. But since in the center of the city, the natural scenery is not as good as the suburbs, a little like the park in the city, and the water is not very clean, if the water is very clear, it will be much better. In short, it is good to walk, there are peacocks open the screen.

I come here every time I go to Tasmania. I saw a double rainbow there for the first time. I didn't know the way when I went there for the first time, so I stupidly took the cable car up, but it was not necessary at all. This is a canyon, a large natural park, and it is free, except for the cable car. You can reach the basin by walking slowly along the canyon from the entrance. The scenery along the way is good, and there are few people. Locals come here to exercise and run after get off work. There are wild kangaroos and peacocks in the basin. In the evening, they will come out for dinner. This group of wild animals are not afraid of strangers at all, and they will pose for you to take pictures. Going further in, there is a big swimming pool with a barbecue area next to it. I always see locals having barbecues with their children here. Every time I watch the sunset, I go to the restaurant in the basin for dinner. The taste is average and the price is not cheap. But if you don't go out after dinner there, when you walk outside, other restaurants will be closed.
