Interesting history and museum on the South Esk River
Duck Reach Power Station的点评
点评：One of the interesting historic attractions you can see along the South Esk River near Launceston is the old Duck Reach Power Station, which was the first publicly owned hydro-electric plant in the Southern Hemisphere. Operating between 1895 and 1955, it is situated on the west side of the river and is now repurposed into a small museum exhibiting the Station's history.
You can access the Duck Reach Power Station by way of the Duck Reach and First Basin walking tracks within the Cataract Gorge. Alternatively, you can park your vehicle across the river at Corin Street and walk down into the gorge, over a suspension bridge to visit as well.
We spent around 10 minutes at the old Duck Reach Power Station, reading up on the information panels, learning about its construction and flood damage of 1929. There is a nice viewing platform above the Station and views of the river from the suspension bridge are pretty nice as well.

翻译：朗塞斯顿附近南埃斯克河沿岸，您可以欣赏到一处有趣的历史景点，那就是古老的鸭子河发电站。它是南半球第一座公有水力发电厂。它于1895年至1955年间运营，位于河流西侧，如今已被改建成一座小型博物馆，展示该电站的历史。
您可以通过卡塔拉特峡谷内的鸭子河和第一盆地步道前往鸭子河发电站。或者，您也可以将车停在河对岸的科林街，然后步行穿过一座吊桥进入峡谷参观。
我们在古老的鸭子河发电站待了大约10分钟，阅读了信息面板，了解了它的建造过程以及1929年的洪水灾害。电站上方有一个漂亮的观景台，从吊桥上欣赏河景也非常漂亮。
