Cataract Gorge
Launceston Tasmania. I live in Launceston, Australia's 3rd oldest city, circa 1806. This gorge is only five minutes from the City centre. A natural amphitheatre. You can see a suspension bridge over the South Esk river. The huge floods of 1929 washed the previous structure away. The basin is very deep and cold. water temp can be as low as 8 degrees C
It is a very popular swimming area in the summer and the grounds have many old trees from many countires. There is a huge american redwood growing there.
