Sightseeing

Iconic scenery and parkland. Best way to experience this is to walk in from the northern side of the Kings Bridge entrance. Have lunch at the Gorge Restaurant, watch the peacocks, swim in the pool and take the chairlift across the basin. If you are short of time drive in via Basin Road West Launceston)
