Cataract Gorge in Launceston
The suspension bridge at First Basin in Cataract Gorge, Launceston
The Cataract Gorge is in Launceston, around 1.5 km from the city centre. It is one of the region's premier tourist attractions for the area and is found at the lower section of the South Esk River. First Basin on the southern side features a swimming pool, a chairlift, two cafés, and an open area surrounded by bushland. The basin itself has created many myths about its depth - some locals say it is a bottomless pit, or a volcanic plug. However, First Basin was formed by erosion at the intersection of two geological faults. A submarine sent in to find its bottom during the 1960s ran out cable before accomplishing this feat.
