To escape the hustle and bustle of the big city, many people choose to holiday in remote locations such as Carnarvon Gorge where they can get in touch with nature and spend peaceful hours simply enjoying their surroundings, rather than rushing from one crowded tourist attraction to another. Carnarvon accommodation fits in well with the natural bush setting of this area with its timber safari cabins that are roomy enough to spread out in but don't take anything away from the naturalness of the area.
This is the kind of holiday that when you arrive back home you won't feel like you need another holiday to recover from. Instead, you can simply relax and enjoy seeing the wildlife that often comes to the front steps or wanders across your lawn. In addition, you can amble along the many different walking trails and explore all that Mother Nature holds in store for you along the way as well as at your destination.
Some of the natural sights are absolutely amazing. There are deep gorges where you can touch both rocky sides at the same time simply by spreading your arms out. Moss covered rocks that drop dramatically down to your trail; hidden niches that hold ancient cave paintings; tiny waterfalls with ferns overhanging them and rocky streams that you can jump across - all this and wildlife, too.
Some of the walking trails are longer than others, so be sure you find out just how long it will take you to walk to the end and back again. That way you will know before you start whether you can manage it or not. If you don't want to go walking, you can always spend time enjoying the salt water pool that is part of the Carnarvon Gorge accommodation, and enjoy watching the kangaroos that come to graze the shorter grass around the cabins.
Carnarvon gorge national park is located west of the coast between Rockhampton and Brisbane. You can drive to it from Rockhampton by going via Emerald and Rolleston, but be sure to fill up on fuel at Rolleston as there are no more fuel stops along the way. You should check ahead to ensure that the road is passable in the event of wet weather as that last few kilometres is unsealed. If going from Brisbane, you will need to go through Toowoomba, Chinchilla, Roma and Injune to access Carnarvon Gorge.
Once you have been to this idyllic spot you will want to return again to enjoy the peace and beauty of one of Australia's prettiest national parks.
