Amazing views for only a short hike (15 minutes each way). Path is a bit rocky and steep so wear appropriate footwear.

Fabulous lookout over the gorge and surrounding mountains. Platform itself is grated so you can walk out to the edge and get a good view. Edge of the platform is about 50m up for those who are scared of heights however. Certainly worth a look if you heading along the trail to the Cateract Gorge / Power Station

Only 5 minutes drive from the city centre of Launceston is a 30 minute round trip easy walk to Sentinel Lookout, overlooking Cataract Gorge between Second and Third Basins. The walker may optionally do longer walks if they wish.

Our 3yo loved the walk from the suspension bridge as the terrain was very interesting. She even trooped up the last 90m with the promise of an amazing viewing platform - which it absolutely was. (Our 10mth old didn't care).

Stunning when we got there but scary especially if you look down. We only had 30 mins to do up and back and enjoy. The pressure was on.

A good effort will see you walk from the Cateract Gauge suspension bridge to the lookout in 15 minutes for a fantastic viewing platform suspended out from the top to give you a complete view to draw in and appreciate.

Great long bush walk along the revived valley up to the look out. The last hundred metres or so the track is very steep but this shouldn’t put you off!

Great walk along the Gorge and soothing sounds from the streams. Not to steep. The view from the viewing platform was amazing.
