My heart is in my mouth even on days the river is calm.

The Gorge in flood Sept 2005
The river is quite fierce on these occasions and right across from here were some hardy (or foolish) rockclimbers from an activity group at Launceston College, 200 m down the road. They are so lucky too!
The Gorge in flood Sept 2005
The Gorge is an integral part of Launceston, right in the middle of town and I am fortunate that I drive over the bridge many times daily. The South Esk River is once again in flood and it's a wonderful sight. I don't have any current photos so here are some from 2 years ago. This is the Gorge Cottage built for the gatekeeper. It's now accomodation for popel who participate in the Launceston Artists in Residence Program run by our local council. I can just walk down hill and then along the Gorge walking track to see all of this, I am so lucky!
