In my view this is the most scenic and must see of all Launceston Tourist Attractions.
If you are after a truly unique experience jump on-board the famous Gorge Scenic Chairlift. The relaxing chairlift lets you view the Cataract Gorge from above. No where in the world can you travel across a gorge estimated to be over 140 million years old this close to the centre of a city. The slow speed enables passengers to appreciate fully and photograph the spectacular views, making you feel like you are a million miles away. With a total span of 457m, the chairlift boasts the longest single span of any chairlift in the world (308m). The main drive station is located at Basin Road, West Launceston, near the main carpark and entrance, with the other station in the middle of the Cliff Grounds reserve.
