Well, it was finally time to leave the New Norfolk, Hobart area. We made the fairly easy drive to Launceston in a couple of hours. Our first stop in Launceston was the Cataract Gorge & First Basin, a bit of wilderness/park only 15 minutes from the Launceston CBD.
Linda and Chuck decided to take a ride on the world’s largest single span chairlift in the world. My stomach doesn’t go for such things.
There they go.

Now there is a jumble of rocks.

Linda encountered this wallaby on the trail.
There were a few peacocks about the place.

Alexandra Suspension Bridge. This bridge was first built in 1904. Please don’t rock the bridge.
Chuck is pondering which path to take.
He decides to cross the bridge.
Linda has climbed up to the lookout
