Carnarvon Gorge

Emerald, Queensland

Day 13: Pack your day bag with water and snack supplies, apply the sunscreen, slap on a hat and strap up your boots, ready for a day exploring the wonders of this National Park. The kids will feel like they’ve stepped into a storybook when they arrive at Moss Garden with its cool waterfall and green walls. A nearby waterfall makes a splendid backdrop for a lunch or smoko stop. You’ll see a huge deciduous fig growing astride a large rock, and are sure to lose count of the variety of ferns and mosses in this lovely natural garden setting. Other popular trails include the 5.6km walk to the Aboriginal Rock Art Gallery and the 3km walk to Baloon Cave. If you want to see the world’s largest fern, follow the walk to Ward’s Canyon. The best place for swimming is the Rock Pool (about 600 metres return from parking areas). Rest in the shade of fig and casuarina trees and watch for platypus and turtles. There is a picnic area with toilets and a gas barbecue.
