Description

Carnarvon Gorge section, Carnarvon National Park - a spectacular gorge system with towering white cliffs and lush side gorges - is Queensland's central highlands' most popular attraction. Carnarvon Creek meanders through eucalypt and cabbage palm forest and attracts 170 bird species. Explore creeks, mossy gorges and cool rainforests on 21 kilometres of walking track. Walk deep into the gorge, stroll the nature trail, or head for nearby Mickey Creek, the Rock Pool or climb Boolimba Bluff. Discover Aboriginal art at Baloon Cave, the Art Gallery and Cathedral Cave. Spot whiptail wallabies and fairy-wrens, and watch platypus in the creek in the early morning.

... more

A large grassy picnic area is situated at the entrance to the gorge. Enjoy camping in the visitor area during the Queensland school holidays: Easter, June to July and September to October. Bookings are essential. Privately run accommodation is available just outside the gorge at all times of the year.
