Carnarvon-Nationalpark
The Carnarvon National Park is a 2980 km ² national park in Queensland, Australia, 460 km south-west of Rockhampton.
The park consists of seven parts:
- 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 the Carnarvon Creek has carved over millions of years into a soft sandstone plateau and thereby formed a diverse canyon landscape. The main canyon is covered extensively and especially with palm trees. In some tributaries of the canyon, which is only a few meters wide, grow mosses and ferns, others are completely bare and dry. The gorge provides, inter alia, the platypus habitat.
In some places, Aboriginal rock paintings have been preserved.
