Launceston's Gorge Scenic Chairlift lets you view the magnificent Cataract Gorge from above, located in Northern Tasmania. Take in the spectacular features of Cataract Gorge from this single-span chairlift. View the South Esk River in a serene or turbulent mood after a flood as well as tree rhododendrons and fern glades. It takes about ten minutes to take the ride across Cataract Gorge and First Basin. Top speed is a sedate one metre per second, but usually, the chairlift runs slower than that to afford passengers a longer ride. It is about 457 metres (1462 feet) from station to station, with a central span between two pylons of 308 metres (985 feet), believed to be the longest single span of any chairlift in the world. Since its opening in 1972, the chairlift has established a 100 per cent safety record. Be sure to also wander the grounds below the chairlift, where you can enjoy an outdoor swimming pool, tearooms and the delightful peacocks who inhabit the area. Launceston's Gorge Scenic Chairlift is around a 15-minute walk from Launceston's central business district.

The name Hinton Bay comes from a beautiful cove that sits a stone's throw below the location of our vineyard in the Tamar Valley wine region. Tall tales from Tasmania's past and historic notes refer to Hinton Bay as a safe mooring place for small trading sailboats, at a time well before engines, offering protection from the North West to the South East. The land above Hinton Bay itself became an orchard in the early 1900s when the Tamar Valley, like many parts of Tasmania, had a thriving apple industry. The apples are long gone but the vines of Hinton Bay now flourish in their place. Liz and David Brown, like many escaping the mainland, have been captivated by Tasmania's charm. New owners of Hinton Bay Vineyard in Hillwood, this couple stumbled upon their sea change by pure chance. Learning the ropes of vineyard life has been an adventure. From mastering the ride-on mower to presenting wine tastings, the couple has embraced the challenges. "The first one was a bit daunting" David confesses "but our presentation has got better every time." Now welcoming guests by appointment and as part of wine tours, the Browns are enjoying their new chapter amidst the vines of their picturesque Tasmanian escape.
