    The Gorge Scenic Chairlift at Cataract Gorge Reserve offers an easy way to take in the full scale of the gorge from above. Running since 1972, it spans about 457 metres across the South Esk River, including the longest single-span chairlift of its kind. The ride moves slowly, giving clear views of dolerite cliffs, First Basin, and Kings Bridge below. Entry to the gorge is free, with chairlift tickets typically costing around 10 to 20 AUD return. At the lower station, you’ll find a swimming pool, tea rooms, and resident peacocks.
