Goodliffe Salvator Rosa Ka Ka Mundi Buckland Tableland

Mount Moffatt Carnarvon Gorge Moolayember

The best known and most easily accessible part of the park is the Carnarvon Gorge, which Carnarvon Creek has dug into a soft sandstone plateau over the course of millions of years, creating a diverse canyon landscape . The main canyon is extensive and mostly overgrown with palm trees. In some branches of the canyon, which are only a few meters wide, mosses and ferns grow , others are completely bare and dry. The gorge offers u. a. the platypus habitat.

In some places are rock paintings of Aboriginal remains.
