Finch Hatton Gorge to Finch Hatton

Mackay, Queensland

A wonderland of waterfalls, lush flora and volcanic boulder formations contrast against a tapestry of sugar cane fields as you arrive in Finch Hatton Gorge! Walk one of many tracks which wind into the verdant subtropical rainforest. Search for rare and unusual flora and fauna such as the rare gastric brooding frog, the orange-sided skink, Mackay tulip oak, Eungella spiny cray and Eungella honeyeater. Take a refreshing swim in one of many clear rock pools found in the rainforest, as water cascades over and around larger boulders upstream! Walk the well-formed track to Araluen Cascades and enjoy a tranquil picnic. Continue through lush rainforest and between great granite boulders to the lookout above the Wheel of Fire Waterfall! This walk does include a number of stairs, but the view is well worth the effort. Get to know the locals at Finch Hatton and experience genuine Australian bush hospitality for the evening. Take in the sights, smells and sounds of this natural paradise amongst the canopy of the rainforest on zipline adventure. Experience the rainforst canopy 25 metres above the ground. Enjoy a freshly prepared meal amongst the greenery in a Finch Hatton cafe.
