Shire of Bauhinia Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

This is a rock formation at the start of the cllmb to Boolimba Lookout, possibly the most favourite of several walks in Carnarvon Gorge. Personally speaking, I think the longer walk straight up the river is the more scenic of all the trails but I did like these rocks.
This was taken on the main walk that follows the river. This would be around an hour into the hike. You have to cross the stream, from memory, 21 times but it's not like what you see here, it's shallow and mostly involves rock hopping. I just love the way the figs put out their roots in bizarre places.
The natural slide at this water hole just outside Springsure in Queensland.
A nice deep waterhole to stretch out in after a long day driving! Just outside Springsure in Queensland.
Pacific or White Necked Heron. I have labeled this Springsure and that was certainly the town, but this little waterhole with natural slide is right by the highway. Problem is, I can't remember which end of town - it is just out of town, so if you didn't pass it on the way in, it is the other end - but would be worth asking a local in case the current weather conditions mean it either isn't running or is dangerous. Beautiful spot for a swim, some bird watching and a picnic.

All of the 'above' - altho' my not being a pet-owner theoretically disqualifies me from evaluating the 'pet-friendly 'factor' here?
