Cataract Gorge in Launceston
Cataract Gorge is only a kilometre from the centre of Launceston. There is paid parking at the entrance to the park, either all day or by the hour.
There are many walking tracks which skirt the side of the gorge, and cross it at a suspension bridge and a low level bridge.
You can swim in the gorge. The water can be quite cold, and there is a current, but with care you should be fine. There are constructed entrances to the water, and access is free. There is also a swimming pool, and access to that is also free.
You can see the gardens and pagolas, and the peacocks walking around.
You can play on the playgrounds.
You can take a chairlift across the gorge, and walk back, or vice-versa. Although going both ways on the chairlift is about the same price as a one way ticket.
There is a cafe on both sides of the gorge, both serving ice-creams, coffee, snacks etc.
