This stunning piece of natural wilderness will astound, inspire and delight. It’s the heartbeat of Launceston, central to the city’s history, lifestyle and unique appeal. The Gorge will truly take you to new heights, whether it be onboard the southern hemisphere’s longest single-span chairlift or from atop the Alexandra Suspension bridge and the spectacular Gorge lookouts.
Enjoy a stroll along the many walking and hiking trails, wine and dine yourself at the Basin Café or Gorge Restaurant, or take the family on a picnic by the open-air swimming pools in the Basin lawns. Or Why not unlock the secrets of Launceston’s past on the Trail of the Tasmanian Tiger or on a guided walk of the Reserve?
The elegant Cliff Ground Gardens were Launceston’s social playground for over 100 years. In these gracious Victorian Gardens you'll find local wildlife and peacocks strutting their stuff about the band rotunda, towering conifers, exotic deciduous trees, azaleas and rhododendrons.
