Carved over millions of years by Carnarvon Creek, the sandstone gorge in the Carnarvon National Park snakes 30 kilometres, giving life to luxuriant ferns, palms and "dripping" mosses. The nomadic Karingal Aboriginal group wandered in and out over thousands of years, leaving stencil art on rock walls. Wildlife is abundant - bowerbirds even try to steal something blue! Your choices of side gorges are many - the Moss Garden perhaps the prettiest; an amphitheatre that will take your breath away as you climb up into it; or the Art Gallery and Cathedral Cave. Tours with Sunrover Expeditions are available.
