Mossman Gorge, Queensland

Mossman Gorge in Far North Queensland is a place we have visited and I've walked along it for a short way a few years ago.  4,500 km from home here in Launceston, so it takes a long time to drive there.  The Gorge is a gateway to the World Heritage listed Daintree Rainforest in Tropical Queensland. The water is clear and cascades over ancient granite boulders, lush walking paths, and has deep Indigenous cultural significance.

As you can see below there is a swinging bridge, but I didn't go over that.  I've placed a link to the cultural center and there are more photo and information there about the Gorge if you wish to visit the center from this blog.

Devil's Gullett, Tasmania. Australia.

This video which is on YouTube is of Devils Gullet a very ruggered area of Tasmania and is 141 km or 87 miles from Launceston here in Tasmania.

Devil's Gullett features dramatic views into a steep, narrow glacial gorge formed by vertical dolerite cliffs 220 meters high and topped by alpine forest.  This landscape has been evolving for about 200 million years, since long before Tasmania broke away from the great southern landmass called Gondwana.  

There is a lookout there and it's a 20 minute return walk from the lookout's carpark.  The walk is easy and takes place on a boardwalk.  

Amazingly it's a place we haven't been to, and to tell the truth we had never heard of it until recently that is because a young man jumped over the cliff on purpose and was reported on our news last year.  So sad.  Apparently, it was a favourite place of the deceased.
