Highlights
Get ready for an adventure at Porcupine Gorge, known as Australia's mini Grand Canyon! This stunning gorge, carved by Porcupine Creek, features sandstone cliffs, deep pools, and a unique rock formation called the Pyramid. The layered rocks tell a story that spans millions of years, making it an exciting place to explore for kids who love nature and history.
Take the Pyramid Track for an up-close look at the gorge floor or enjoy the incredible views from the lookout. Keep an eye out for kangaroos and colourful birds as you explore the area. It's a great place for hiking, photography, and spotting wildlife in their natural habitat.
