Carnarvon Gorge - Part 1

The gorge is in the Capricorn Central Highlands and we had driven this way especially to see it.
It features over 30kms of high sandstone cliffs with the Carnarvon Creek running through it.
It is very lush compared to the gorges up north with many cycads and fan and king palms.The main walking track crosses the creek many times and leads to many different sites depending on how far you wish to go.The end of the track is 9.7kms one way but this area was closed as they had floods some weeks before.
 We decided on the 14km walk which included visiting the moss graden, amphitheatre and wards canyon. It was a very humid day all thought temperature was around 29 deg it felt much hotter.

The moss garden is set up under the cliffs where water constantly drips  from the walls allowing mosses, ferns and liverworts to flourish. It is breathtaking, the water dripping off the walls looks like gold fairy lights and the small water fall looks like it has been perfectly landscaped. It was so beautifully formed and we were there on our own which was great as sometimes these places are spoilt by the crowds.
