They have all sort of old farming, mining and communication machineries from the past 150 years. Some of the machineries were still in working condition. One of the highlights was the display of the Beaconsfield mine collapse when 3 miners were trapped underground for 2 weeks. The display gave us a idea on the size of tunnel and the rescue. We ended up spending about 3 hours at the museum and really enjoyed the experience.

The whole cruise was about 50 mins long but the captain spent half the time cruising on Tamar River. Dont get me wrong, he shared a lot of history/ information about Launceston...but that's not what i want to see/hear! Finally we made it to Cataract Gorge, no waterfall in sight, and we could only made it as far as you could if you would be on foot. Overall a disappointing experience.

There were about 18 of us on bored it wasn't too crowded but you probably wouldn't want too many more. The boat was clean, modern and had the added bonus of a toilet on board. Drink prices were fairly stranded and the organiser was able to select from a list or beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks to take on board (limited space). Also you are able to take on your own food which is a nice touch. I'd recommend this to anyone.
