Carnarvon Gorge National Park

CARNARVON GORGE, what a great day we have had, it is a really spectacular sandstone gorge with walls towering 200 metres. Very similar to Katherine Gorge in the Northern Territory except you get to experience that by travelling along on the water. Today we walked at least 15 km's along the gorge and boy do we feel that we have. You cross the river bed several times and then walk into the different sections.
ROAD INTO the gorge is about 40km's and the last 11km's are gravel. There is a caravan park in there but we chose to stay further north at Rolleston. Rolleston is a one horse town -horse is tethered at the garage/wreckers yard. Pleased we did decide to stay at Rolleston as wouldn't fancy taking our house on wheels on the road.

Rolleston also houses local coal mine workers, not many houses there and the ones that are, are being rented between $450 and $650 per week, may not be much capital gain, but sure to be a very good return. The caravan park is installing more demountables to cater for the housing demand.
