‘I look over the development here,’ said Patsy Cameron, our guide to Launceston’s Cataract Gorge. The ‘development’ she refers to includes tea-rooms, the quaintly named ‘inclinator’, the chairlift, and various other accoutrements of a European Australian’s Sunday afternoon picnic outing that have adhered to this special and sacred site.
