Would have liked more reference to the First Nations people and their link to this Iconic location

Interesting information about the geography and history. The gorge is stunning. My disappointment was there was no history about Cataract Gorge and the First Nations people. These are stories that need to be told.

Cataract Gorgeous Cruise

Great tour of the gorge and the different parts of the Tamar River. The historic boat really sets the scene for a relaxing cruise through iconic waters and landscapes.

A short but interesting interlude

An enjoyable but somewhat underwhelming experience as we thought we would have seen more of Cataract Gorge, not realising that boat access is quite limited. Nevertheless, the cruise captain did provide a thorough and informative insight into the early settlement and maritime history of Launceston and the Tamar River.
