Dinosaur Country

PORCUPINE GORGE NATIONAL PARK, Hughenden The gorge is several hundred million years old and the area was home to dinosaurs when the area was an inland sea.

THE PYRAMID it was an easy 1.2 km walk down to the gorge for a gorge walk, although Paul looked like he was about to die once we got back to the top. Hard to imagine the amount of water that water that must have flowed through here in the past to create this solid wall on the bend in the 27 km gorge.
Yesterday we left the coast and turned inland at Townsville, it sure was nice to finally have clear blue skies on our way to Hughenden and then last night to see stars. Today has been really hot in the mid 30's.
