Creator's Key Takeaways

We're here for about 11 days total. We arrived in Lawnston, which I keep wanting to call it Lawnston because that's how English would pronounce it, but it's Lawnston.

The boat ended up being a three and a half hour three and a half hour cruise. And it's it's the company's names Cataract Gorge Cruises.

If you are here and driving, then please be careful. If you are driving here and you're concerned about it, if you've driven in the UK, it's almost exactly the same.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If visiting Cataract Gorge, combine the walk with the boat trip to see both sides, but consider the shorter boat trip if you want to save money.
βœ“Use a Jacuzzi tub as a washing machine if you need to do laundry while traveling.
βœ“Check for a bathtub shelf if you enjoy reading or using an iPad while bathing.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cost of food and drink β€” Be prepared for sticker shock on items like sandwiches and spirits compared to the UK or US; wine is generally a more affordable option.
Driving safety β€” Watch out for wildlife; there are many road signs warning about kangaroos and wallabies.
