Cataract Gorge Reserve, Tasmania, Australia
4.5 (5.794 reviews) Sunday: 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Launceston Nature & Wildlife Areas
Great for seeing wildlife
Recommend taking cable car on the way up (paid entry), then walking down through the swinging bridge, takes around 1 hour in total. Lots of wallabies and peafowls in the area at top of the cable car, some black swans in the gorge below. Allow more time if you want to spend time doing other walks. Carpark requires paid ticket and fills up pretty quickly.

Fresh air and fun
What a great place. When we arrived the car park was pretty full, however, this was not an issue. Despite there being a lot of people they were spread out over a large are of walking tracks, picnic areas, pools and lookouts. The paths were well-defined - gravel in a lot of places, however dry and wide. Some places a little steep if someone was to struggle with walking. Peacocks strutting their stuff. Very calm cable car. Rugged scenery, beaut suspension bridge. Everyone was having fun. Good cafe or BYO. Free entry however parking cost is the same as the rest of the city (which is very cheap). Lots of signage to find it. Good for individuals, couples or the whole family or groups. Well done

Great stop - cannot miss this if you want to see some Tasmania scenery
This is a beautiful part of the world. There is a chair lift that will take you over the area for $20 return ($15 one way) I recommend the one way and walking back as the trails all lead back the the start. There is a swimming pool with lifeguard after your walk to cool off and you can also choose to swim in the waterhole itself. It will take you about 1 1/2 hours to do a brief visit but you could easily stay far longer. As per the other reviews there are tonnes of animals around to spot
