Carnarvon Gorge Day 1 Qld

---

We settled into our first off grid camp at the magnificent Sandstone Park, set high on a plateau overlooking the cliffs of Carnarvon Gorge. We had been watching YouTube videos of Carnarvon Gorge prior to leaving on our trip, and it looked amazing.

Our first foray into Carnarvon Gorge was to take the trail to Mickeys Creek and Warrumbah Gorge, both of which narrowed to just a few metres between high sandstone cliffs. We followed each gorge, zig zagging across the creek until the water became too deep to continue.

We then checked out the Rock Pool and after stepping our way across the river on rocks, we walked the Nature Trail. We were fortunate to watch for around twenty minutes the first Platypus that we had ever seen in the wild.

After arriving back at our camp site, I collected some wood, lit a fire and proceeded to cook a roast dinner in the Camp Oven. Bellisimo!

Carnarvon Gorge did not disappoint.
