Rock Pool
The Rock Pool has been carved from the bed of Carnarvon Creek by the turbulent water of past floods. Rest in the shade of fig and casuarina trees and watch for platypus and turtles. Stop at the first pool if you must but there is a much bigger and deeper second pool just downstream. The picnic area includes toilets but no longer has a gas barbecue. This is the only place in Carnarvon Gorge designated for swimming.

Salvator Rosa
Spy glass peak and surrounding sandstone features make this walk very interesting for photography. The natural wall near the peak appears as if man made.

Takarakka Lookout
A great opportunity to climb to the lookout with views over to the entrance to Carnarvon Gorge some 4km away. Great place for a evening drink while watching the sun set in the distance. Don't be surprised to meet a few of the 'locals' on your way.

Tomb Art Site - Mt Moffat
More than 400 stencilled motifs (images) decorate the walls of a sandstone shelter below the bluff of sandstone known as The Tombs. The Tombs once contained burial chambers for local Aboriginal people. Skeletons were wrapped and bound in bark burial cylinders. Sadly, by the end of the 20th century, the site had been robbed of this material, leaving little evidence of an elaborate mortuary culture. Take a close look at the rock art from a boardwalk with seats.

Wards Canyon
Ward's Canyon is a cool place to visit on a hot day. It is home to the world's largest fern; the King Fern Angiopteris evecta. These impressive green 'dinosaurs' have strong links with the ancient flora of Gondwanan origin. A short, steep rise up through spotted gums leads to the lower falls and then further into the shaded canyon.

Warrumbah Creek
Similar to Mickey Creek, this is a scramble up the creek course, crisscrossing the creek and finding your own way around and over boulders, along ledges and through narrow crevices.

Cattle Dip Track
An easy walk through open woodland to look out over the "cattle dip" - a spectacular permanent, aptly named water hole in Robinson Gorge. No access from the lookout to the water hole without climbing gear.
