Lower Gorge Explorer Tour

Carnarvon, Queensland

The Lower Gorge Explorer Tour is for those who wish to truly understand Carnarvon Gorge's landscapes, plants, animals, people and how they all fit together. The tour takes in the greatest diversity of experiences possible in a moderate day's walking. It has been operating continuously for 20 years in Carnarvon Gorge - a track record no other tour operator can come close to. Watch the warm morning light colour the cliffs as you search for wildlife and unusual plants along the path into the Gorge. Listen to the chorus of birds as they glean breakfast from the forest. Hunt for tiny orchids in moist undergrowth. At the Art Gallery, explore an internationally significant Rock Art site from both an indigenous and western perspective, gaining a deeper understanding of its place in traditional and modern culture. Put the kettle on in Ward's Canyon's unique microclimate and enjoy a hot drink next to a colony of rare king ferns. Wander into the magical atmosphere of the Amphitheatre, whose sandstone walls record over two million years of geological history. Relax in the Moss Garden with the soothing sound of water falling out of the cliffs from the largest spring in Carnarvon Gorge.
