Carnarvon Gorge at its beautiful best

Visitors to Carnarvon Gorge can reconnect with the natural world, explore an ancient past, marvel at the immensity of stunning sandstone cliffs and bask within a landscape that is simply like no other.

During the warmer months, Central Queensland’s Carnarvon Gorge is often overlooked as a holiday destination, but it is a truly spectacular place to visit for a variety of reasons.

While Central Queensland is renowned for high temperatures between November and February, it is also one of the best times to embrace the low season and escape crowds, see curious wildlife, witness the vivid colours of summer and dive into refreshing swimming spots.

After a spate of recent wildfires, the green shoots of new life are providing yet another layer of magic throughout the gorge and the team at BIG4 Breeze Holiday Parks believe now is the best time to see Mother Nature at her absolute finest.

Nestled on 40ha within Carnarvon National Park and just a five-minute drive from where your Carnarvon walks begin, Breeze Holiday Parks provide the perfect base for your next adventure.

BIG4 Breeze Holiday Parks – Carnarvon Gorge Park Manager Natalie Coulter welcomes families and friends to come and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life with a holiday that is as active or relaxing as you choose.

“There are so many locations to explore both around the park or within the gorge, so whether you want to take a 14km return walk to the Art Gallery, stroll to Mickey’s Creek, Nature Trail, Rock Pools and Boolimba Bluff, or simply wander the park with your morning coffee, there is truly something for everyone,” Ms Coulter said.

“Carnarvon Creek, which wraps around the holiday park is the ideal place to cool down in summer and is also home to our elusive resident platypus, who can be spotted by the keen eye from the banks.”

With several top-class tourism operators working out of a location that is a hero product for Central Queensland Highlands, Capricorn Enterprise CEO Mary Carroll encouraged anyone looking for a unique and memorable holiday, to start planning a visit to Carnarvon Gorge.

“Carnarvon Gorge is a one-of-a-kind location that is extremely popular as a tourist destination, and we certainly look forward to watching the gorge recover and regenerate, returning to full life after nature’s recent courses,” Ms Carroll said.
