Dragon Cave and Bloodwood Cave
Monto

Cania Gorge National Park conserves a spectacular landscape of prominent sandstone cliffs, caves, eucalypt forest and dry rainforest on sheltered slopes.

Follow the Dripping Rock track for 400 metres before taking a right turn over the bridge across Russell Gully. A moderately steep track leads to the cliff face, where a sidetrack branches north to Dragon Cave (1.8 kilometres return).

The southern branch of the track leads to Bloodwood Cave, so called because the roots of a bloodwood tree can be seen at the left-hand side of the cave.

Walk Hints

Be careful around cliff edges and always carry water. Whilst there is no camping in the national park, private campgrounds are located in the Gorge. Keep to the walking tracks as shortcuts cause erosion.

Best Time To Go

Particularly in spring when you can see red kurrajong flowers in bloom.
