Entertainment & Activities

Super close to our place. The spectacular Cataract Gorge cuts right into the city, with accessible walking tracks and Victorian gardens making this a must-visit. Meet the famous resident peacocks, and venture out onto the recently-opened cantilevered viewing platform, which projects 10.5 metres out above the river. Take time to revel in our unique urban wonder.
