An oasis in the heart of Central Queensland, towering white sandstone cliffs form a breathtaking gorge carved by Carnarvon Creek over millions of years. With narrow gorges feeding off the main gorge containing splendid attractions, remnant rainforest and a significant cultural heritage, Carnarvon Gorge is the jewel in the crown in this section of the sandstone belt.
Carnarvon fan palms, ancient cycads, ferns and gum trees line the sides of the gorge while grassy open forest tops the tablelands above. The road into Carnarvon National Park will leave you awestruck as rugged cliffs dominate the skyline.
