Description
Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park is one of Queensland's most scenic national parks. Lawn Hill Gorge is formed by Lawn Hill Creek, which is fed by numerous freshwater springs from the limestone plateau to the west. The magnitude of the sandstone cliffs lining the gorge, its emerald waters and lush vegetation make it a visual splendour. Serving as an oasis, the spring water and surrounding vegetation attract an abundance of wildlife.
Walkers on the Constance Range track are rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the range, making this an incredible early morning or evening walk.
