The first half of the cruise was a joke the only thing that saved it from being a disaster was seeing the cataract gorge.

g4georgeSydney

This was a very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours on the water and the scenery is quite exquisite, but a Gorge is a Gorge is a Gorge ! Really appreciated that the captain was informative and knowledgeable about the area and offered some interesting insights into its history . Recommended absolutely even though I come from a country full of Gorges.

That we were able to climb right up and get a better view of the gourge. Also my two cousins went on the chair lift across it. The gushing water. The boat ride was very entertaining as the operator gave us a detailed account of past events.

Thank you Captain Steve for a wonderful trip on the 'Lady'. My granddaughters (aged 12, 9, & 6 yrs) had a great time and want to go again. They thoroughly enjoyed their history and geography lessons and therefore, so did I. Cheers Grannie
