Cataract Gorge & First Basin History
The earliest recorded visit to this area was made by settler William Collins in 1804 when exploring the Port in the ship Lady Nelson. He was particularly impressed by the South Esk and its cataract and wrote, Upon approaching the entrance I observed a large fall of water over rocks, nearly a quarter of a mile up a straight gully between perpendicular rocks about 150 ft high.
The beauty of the scene is probably not surpassed in the world. For the early development of this resort we are indebted to a private organization call The Launceston City and Suburbs Improvement Association, formed in December 1899. This body undertook to construct an access along the Cataract Gorge, which took eight years to complete. In 1940, a suspension bridge was constructed across the South Esk River at the head of the First Basin to connect the two sides of the River area.
Further up the River, at Duck Reach , a turbine-driven power station was constructed by the Council and it is understood that Launceston had the distinction of being the first City south of the Equator to be lit by electricity, generated by water power. On the 10th December, 1895, electricity was officially switched on.
Apart from the magnificent vistas along the cataract there are the very enjoyable developed areas in the vicinity of the Cliff Grounds Restaurant and the First Basin swimming pool. There is an extremely interesting variety of natural flora totalling more than 70 species native to the area which is also inhabited by many different species of native fauna and approximately seventy different species of birds have been seen in the Gorge including nine species endemic to Tasmania.

Unknown Traction Chairlift at Gorge Scenic Chairlift, Cataract Gorge, TAS
Recorded on July 9, 2017
This is part of a batch of Tasmanian and other videos I managed to recover from a failed hard drive, so this batch is long-lost.
This is apparently one of the longest chairlifts in the world. It is an alternative to taking the ground trails and spans the gorge itself.

Our Cataract Gorge - Launceston
Cataract Gorge Reserve, or The Gorge as we call it, is a unique natural formation within a two-minute drive of central Launceston - a rare and natural phenomenon in any city.
In 15 minutes we can walk from the city center along the banks of the Tamar River into The Gorge.
From here one follows a pathway along the cliff face, originally built in the 1890s, looking down onto the South Esk River. The Kings Bridge over The Gorge was floated into place in 1867.
The First Basin, on the southern side, features a swimming pool (though it was flooded with the high water level today) and an open area surrounded by bushland.
In contrast, the shady northern side, named the Cliff Grounds, is a Victorian garden where wilderness is created with ferns and exotic plants - nature is enhanced by art. There's a Restaurant and kiosk, rolling lawns and a rotunda, a pub with a view, a footbridge and chairlift across the river, peacocks in the trees, wallabies at dusk. This may be the nation's most alluring
urban reserve........ (っ◕‿◕)っ
The magnificent chairlift was built in 1972 spanning the huge natural basin often filled by the surging waters of the South Esk River. The chairlift covers some 457 meters. The central span of 308 meters is believed to be the longest single chairlift span in the world.
