Carnarvon Gorge - All you need to know

Carnarvon Gorge is one of Queensland's great natural wonders, a lush oasis of white sandstone cliffs, spring-fed creeks, cabbage palms and ferns in the Central Queensland outback. In the Carnarvon Gorge section of Carnarvon National Park, it is a walker's paradise, with tracks to the Amphitheatre, Ward's Canyon, the Moss Garden, the Art Gallery rock art and more.

This guide covers everything you need to plan your visit: the best walks and side gorges, how to get to Carnarvon Gorge, the best time of year to come, camping and accommodation, and current weather. And when you are ready to go deeper, the region holds nearly 300 million years of geological history, from ancient seas to the Great Dying.
