Carnarvon Gorge

Carnarvon Gorge is a 30-kilometre sandstone gorge within Carnarvon National Park in the Central Highlands Region of Queensland, Australia, about 600 km northwest of Brisbane. Carved by Carnarvon Creek through white sandstone cliffs up to 600 metres high, it is notable for towering cliffs, narrow side gorges, ancient cycads, and extensive Aboriginal rock art galleries. The gorge is a major bushwalking and nature destination with diverse flora and fauna.

Visitors can expect a deep sandstone gorge with towering white and orange cliffs, Carnarvon Creek flowing along the valley floor, and a network of walking tracks leading to side gorges. Highlights include moss-covered canyons, the natural Amphitheatre, Aboriginal rock art galleries, cycad groves and eucalypt woodland. The visitor area has a national park information centre, picnic areas and campgrounds, with tracks ranging from short boardwalks to the 19.4 km return main gorge walk.
