The high gorges bordered by pines, eucalyptus and tea trees form a striking contrast to the surrounding arid plain. The stream has dug an impressive canyon nearly 120 m long. Further on, it is a spectacular pyramid that stands at the water's edge. Look for black ducks, with their thin white masks around their eyes, pardalotes (small coloured passerines), honeyeaters, who feed on the nectar of flowers. A campground is located near the pyramid. A permit is required (www.des.qld.gov.au). As the number of permits issued is limited, it is necessary to book in advance during school holidays.

Beau canyon qui mérite un détour.
Le parc se rejoint par une bonne route goudronnée à partir de Hughenden. Il y a deux points d'accès principaux. Le premier qui donne sur un point de vue grandiose, et le deuxième qui arrive à un camping d'où partent des très belles promenades. Celle qui porte en bas de la gorge est très belle. Je conseil de passer une nuit au camping après avoir préalablement réservé un emplacement (pour tente ou camping car) à un office de tourisme ou par internet ou téléphone au "Queensland National Parks". Le camping est simple et sauvage. Nous avons eu la chance le soir de recevoir la visite d'un rufous bettong très mignon.
