Another view of the 'Gorge' looking across First Basin towards the Alexandra suspension bridge which was opened in 1904.
I will eventually be crossing the small arched bridge or causeway which was the site of the ford across the South Esk River in the days of the early settlement.
Some of the chairs from the chairlift are just visible.

To the left of frame is the Basin, to the right the Cliff Grounds which I will show next.

Cataract Gorge Reserve, or The Gorge as the locals call it, is a unique natural formation within a two-minute drive of central Launceston - a rare natural phenomenon in any city.

The First Basin, on the southern side, features a swimming pool and an open area surrounded by bushland. It is Launceston's beach.

In contrast, the shady northern side, named the Cliff Grounds, is a Victorian garden where wilderness is created with ferns and exotic plants - nature is enhanced by art. There's a kiosk and swimming pool, rolling lawns and a rotunda, a pub with a view, a footbridge and chairlift across the river, peacocks in the trees, wallabies at dusk. This may be the nation's most alluring urban reserve.
