When rocks decide to stand tall and steal the limelight.

The rugged beauty of Cataract Gorge in Launceston is truly captivating. Standing by the calm reflective waters I was awestruck by the towering granite cliffs that rose above me. Each rock formation with its vertical striations and patches of green vegetation seemed to tell a story of time and resilience. The cliffs composed of large weathered rocks in varying shades of gray and brown were interspersed with small shrubs and trees adding a touch of life to this harsh environment. As I looked up I saw the dense tree cover extending under a vibrant blue sky dotted with scattered clouds creating a dramatic contrast. Exploring Cataract Gorge felt like stepping into a different world where nature's raw power and serene beauty coexisted offering moments of peaceful reflection amidst its grandeur.
