About Giwining / Flora River Nature Park

It protects a spring-fed section of the Flora River noted for tufa dams, travertine formations and clear pools. The park is valued for its natural scenery, Aboriginal cultural heritage, and remote camping, fishing and paddling opportunities in a largely undeveloped savanna landscape.
