LAUNCESTON | TravelingTwo Tasmania | CATARACT GORGE | Study Abroad Australia

This week we went to Tasmania! We visited the town of Launceston and the Cataract Gorge. We flew from Melbourne to Launceston, which was a quick and easy flight. If you plan well ahead of time, it can very cheap to fly there. We took a hotel shuttle from the airport, as there was little public transport and no Uber. Our hotel (called Hotel Launceston / The Mecure Launceston) was in easy walking distance to the city. There were a few shopping areas in the city and lots of cute cafes! There was also a beautiful park right across the street from our hotel, highly recommend stopping by (called the City Park). The next day we walked to the Cataract Gorge, about a 30 min walk, but very enjoyable and easy. We crossed Kings Bridge and walked on the right side (the easy path) on the way there. Once we got to the main areas, there was an abundance of wildlife and beautiful nature. We had lunch at the Basin Cafe, which was good and had a nice view. We walked back on the other side of the Gorge, which had many stairs but was not too difficult. Overall it was a great day, and there was quite a bit to do there!

The airport would have had information about car hire. No?

Yes it has! Lots of car rentals there and much cheaper than the Australian mainland.
To see Tassie properly you do need a car or, even better, a small 4 wheel drive.
