Carnarvon Gorge

 

Carnarvon Gorge (Carnarvon National Park)

The spectacular Carnarvon Gorge lies hidden in the rugged ranges 140 kilometres north of Injune, and is the ideal place for a family camping holiday. Stay at least three nights to walk the 21 kilometres of graded tracks, explore side gorges and view aboriginal art sites. On an easy days walk you can explore three of the Gorge’s most popular sites – the Moss Garden, Amphitheatre and Ward’s Canyon.

Over millions of years the Carnarvon Creek has gouged soft sandstone from the vertical white cliffs of the Gorge. The creek flows all year, giving life to a luxuriant growth of ferns, palms, shrubs, trees and fauna. Be on the lookout for platypus, wallabies and any of the numerous birds that make the National Park their home.

A well maintained camping and caravan area is located at the entrance of the Gorge. Bookings for the camping ground are essential and can be made by contacting the Carnarvon Gorge Rangers Office. Always check with the Injune Visitor Information Centre for road conditions before you set
out.
