Every city has it's number one attraction or must-see place to visit. Launceston is no exception. Sure it has plenty of parks and green space but what truly makes this town different is 'The Gorge.' Located not even 10 mins from the town centre and a short walk over the bridge is a beautiful, quiet open space. The best way to see it is via the two footpaths - zig zag track and the main route- but be warned, the zig zag track is not for your casual morning stroll! Along the main route are plenty of vantage points allowing you to take pictures further up stream. As you wander past the restaurant, you will find wallabies and peacocks wandering around the grounds. Don't worry, they prefer their own company to yours or mine!
The first basin is a great meeting point as it has a large grass verge to sit and eat a picnic, a swimming pool for those who aren't brave enough to swim in the gorge and the walking bridge which swings in the wind...literally! There are plenty more walks around the area but this one is tough to beat.
Today is Sarah's 10 year anniversary and the first one which I've not been home for. It's strange not being at home for it but in a way, heading to this place felt like home. It reminds me of Geirionydd and it's a place I know she would've loved.
This post is dedicated to Sarah Jones - "always remembered, never forgotten, forever in our hearts" <3
