day 1Welcome to Launceston
You don't have to arrive early into Launceston, but we highly recommend you do. Time on your side? Walk the short distance to Cataract Gorge, home to the longest single-span chairlift in the world. It's quite the ride, taking you up high into this intensely beautiful, and spiritual, place, yours on an Optional Experience. Otherwise, meet your Travel Director and fellow Tassie companions for a drink in the evening.
