The Doc jumped on a Cataract Cruise. For the next hour we had a short trip on the South Esk, North Esk and Tamar Rivers, including a trip into Cataract Gorge.<\/p>\n<p>Time to head back to the Hotel, grab the room, shower and have a nanny nap. Discussed some details of the Cape York helicopter trip next year. That is shaping up to be a ripper.<\/p>\n<p>Then back out again for a bit to eat and then a walk down Cataract Gorge. The Doc enjoyed a ride on the First Basin Chairlift, which stretches some 457metres across Cataract Gorge at the Basin on South Esk River. Then a nice walk out of the Gorge. The Doc topped the day off with a gourmet pizza for dinner. Back at the hotel after 7pm.<\/p>\n<p>Need to catch the 8am flight to Flinders Island tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n<p>A view from the chairlift.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thedocaus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Flinders-Island-Day-1-0166.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3365\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thedocaus.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=3365\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thedocaus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Flinders-Island-Day-1-0166.jpg?fit=800%2C1200&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;DSC-RX100M2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1414684959&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;10.4&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Flinders Island Day 1- 0166\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thedocaus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Flinders-Island-Day-1-0166.jpg?fit=604%2C907&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3365\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thedocaus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Flinders-Island-Day-1-0166.jpg?resize=200%2C300\" alt=\"Flinders Island Day 1- 0166\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thedocaus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Flinders-Island-Day-1-0166.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thedocaus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Flinders-Island-Day-1-0166.jpg?resize=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thedocaus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Flinders-Island-Day-1-0166.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pleasant flight from Sydney to Launceston in Tasmania, although it is quite a bit cooler down here.
