Qld - Carnarvon Gorge

Where ever you go in the Gorge, there is always something interesting to see. This is one of the
first views of the Gorge that you see as you begin your walk. By the time you have reached the end of the full walk, you have crossed the Carnarvon Creek about 20 times.
At Ward's Canyon, which is at the end of one of the side gorges, is a colony of Queenslands only king ferns. The other colonies of these enormous ferns are along parts of the eastern Australian coast.

The Apostlebirds (also known as "happy jacks") live in extended family groups of between 8 and 16 birds. Only on or two of the group breed each season and the rest of the birds helping take care of the young. Sounds very civilised to me. They are around the camping area all the time and chatter continuously.


These pretty-face wallabies are quite small and were often around the camping areas. They are very cute to look at, you just want to pick one up and give it a cuddle.
We also saw a couple of echidnas on our walks as well as turtles and fish in the creeks.
A magical part of Australia.
