Many an hour I spent as a teenager here at the Basin, swimming and sunbaking. Oh Yes, I was delivered to the Basin by my father in a Police Car and collected a few hours later in same :)
That's how it was being the only daughter (child) of a Policeman.
View of The Alexandra Suspension Bridge first built in 1904.
The Basin, no one ever knew how deep it was until recently - 19 meters deep, 62ft. in 2011.
A view for the path going towards the swimming pool.
The Basin & Swimming Pool which is unsupervised. There is a Cafe, a few barbecues. The city of Launceston is behind the hill.
Oh M how I would have enjoyed sitting in the sun surrounded by all this beauty with the Policeman's little daughter dreaming and swimming. Someday we will meet. HUGS G
ReplyDeleteHopefully we will meet :) take care.
DeleteWhat an absolutely lovely spot - I'm certain you have many wonderful memories surrounding it. Nice to hear that your father took such good care of you - escorting you there and back.
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely memories as we all have I am sure about certain places.
DeleteLooks like a beautiful spot that bridge if I was to try crossing it I would get all weak in the legs........
ReplyDeleteOh would you really get weak in the knees - the bridge doesn't swing and of course there is the chairlift for those that prefer not to walk, both ways are nice.
DeleteWhat a wonderful spot to spend as a teenager. I bet you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteHad a lovely time there..
DeleteIt is a beautiful spot. I loved the walk along the river and over the bridge. Wow Thats deep.
ReplyDeleteGreat spot, yes it's deep all right.
