Cania Gorge National Park, Nature reserve in North Burnett Regional, Australia.
Description
Cania Gorge National Park is a nature reserve featuring 70-meter-high sandstone cliffs rising from Three Moon Creek, surrounded by woodland areas. The site contains an extensive cave system running through the rock formations.
History
The site became a national park in 1994 following land donations made by the Francis family between 1977 and 1989 from their station. These contributions enabled permanent protection of the natural area.
Culture
Aboriginal art sites dot the canyon walls, featuring handprints and animal figures painted directly onto the rock surface. These works testify to Indigenous people's deep connection with this landscape.
Practical
Walking trails range from 300 meters to 22 kilometers throughout the park, with picnic shelters and interpretive signs along the routes. The facilities are designed for visitors of different fitness levels.
Did you know?
Peregrine falcons nest in the high sandstone cliffs while black-striped wallabies inhabit the lower sections of the gorge. This mix of wildlife from different elevations makes it a rewarding place for animal watching.
