Launceston is Tasmania’s second largest city after Hobart. The main attraction is Cataract Gorge. Basalt cliffs on the edge of the South Esk River make for a beautiful swimming spot. The chairlift, built in 1972, is the longest single span chairlift in the world at 308 m/1010 ft.
Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra put on a free concert in the park.
