9 THINGS TO DO IN CARNARVON GORGE NATIONAL PARK

Carnarvon Gorge National Park is located in Queensland’s sandstone country. You’ll find deep, craggy gorges, jaw-dropping cliffs, and more than 2,000 pieces of aboriginal rock art. 

Nestled amongst the rocks you’ll find mossy gardens and bright, emerald green plants and fauna. It’s simply a wonder to behold, and a stark contrast from other national parks in Queensland that offer a more tropical vibe. 

Here are some of the top things to do in Carnarvon National Park to make the most out of your visit. 

Hike the Nature Trail to Carnarvon Creek

Surrounding the trail is nothing but pine trees and white steep sandstone cliffs and jaw-dropping nature. 

Cathedral Cave and Boowinda Gorge

This hike takes you to an overhang that sheltered the Aboriginal people for thousands of years. 

Take the Warrambuh Gorge and Mickeys Creek Gorge Walk

This was a fantastic walk we did the afternoon we arrived in Carnarvon. It’s on the main walking track to Mickey Creek Gorge and you turn off to the right about 1km in. 

Walk the Moss Garden Walk

It’s a fairly flat and easy walk along the main Carnarvon Gorge trail and the views are spectacular. The 7km trail crosses the boulder-strewn creek several times and leads to different walking trails.
