abstract:The Gordon River is one of the major rivers of Tasmania, Australia. It rises in the centre of the island at Lake Richmond and flows westward for about 193km where it empties into Macquarie Harbour on the West Coast of Tasmania.
There is sailing, jet-boating, sandboarding and helicopter flights, or more gentle outdoor pleasures like chasing the reflections on a mirror-calm GordonRiver cruise, riding through the rainforests on a restored heritage railway or being driven to the heart of it all in a comfortable 4x4.
