Get a different perspective of the green cavern on the scenic chairlift, zipping you over the water to a lofty lookout. We wouldn't blame you for lingering here, or perhaps this afternoon take one of the river cruises on offer (both own expense). The choice is yours. Hotel: Best Western Plus Launceston.
