Central Highlands Area

Ancient rock art, real sapphires, and a giant Van Gogh in a paddock

West of the coast, where the beaches give way to gorge country and gemfields, Carnarvon Gorge holds one of the most significant Aboriginal rock art galleries in the country. Blackdown Tableland rises just as dramatically, its own waterfalls reached across a plateau that feels like a different climate. At the Sapphire Gemfields, the fossicking is real: hire a sieve and find your own stone. Out here, the strangeness just keeps coming.
