Hell Hole Gorge National Park

Hell Hole Gorge National Park features steep cliffs rising 45 meters alongside Powell Creek and Spencer Creek, with two significant waterholes spanning over half a hectare.

The park area marks a tragic event from 1872 when Aboriginal people were killed in retaliation for the death of Richard Welford from Welford Downs station.

The land within the national park holds deep connections to Indigenous communities who maintained traditional relationships with this Queensland territory for generations.

Visitors require four-wheel-drive vehicles to access the park, which offers primitive camping facilities without drinking water across its 127 square kilometers.

Following rainfall, the park displays botanical diversity through species like Hakea maconochiena, Thryptomene hexandra, and Euphorbia sarcostemmoides among its flora.
