CARNARVON GORGE
Carnarvon Gorge in Carnarvon National Park (since 1932) is an unspoiled habitat in the Queensland's Central Highlands. Towering white sandstone cliffs form a steep sided gorge with lush narrow side gorges. Boulder strewn Carnarvon creek winds through the gorge. There is a wealth of cultural and natural heritage here.

Queensland is a beautiful state! The cliffs, the rainforest, the moss, rock pool, waterfall, and aboriginal art in the caves... so many natural wonders to see in just a few days.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane, for including the maps. That way I don't have to try to find it on my own.
ReplyDeleteHard to believe that those palm trees grow in all that wet.
Are you guys ever going home again? :)
Thanks Diane for showing us more of the gorge. I LOVE it.... Amazing place --including that little waterfall!!!! I also appreciate seeing the map --which helps me know where you were... Thanks!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that one picture of the sun on the Palm trees. The coloring is fabulous in that picture.
Hugs,

What a beautiful place! I love going on your adventures, and wish I could be there in person. I'd be snapping so much I'd probably get a fingertip blister!!
ReplyDeleteDiane, I love that gorge too! Great photos from your walk. The Aboriginal art site is a cool site.
ReplyDeleteMountain thyme...We are actually home again now. I'm just showing more photos that I didn't include while we were on the road. Thanks for following our adventures and hope I have given you an idea of what Queensland is like.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about Carnarvon Gorge but never had tghe chance to go there. Thanks for showing these lovely photos, the first two river ones are like crystal. Great shot of the dead palm frond.
ReplyDeleteIt's colder inside than it is outside today, and your Queensland weather is looking prertty good.
Cheers,
