Porcupine Gorge National Park

About 74kms north of Hughenden. This is a bush camp with very separate camping areas for each caravan or tent. Very nicely spaced do you have some privacy and bush land between each camp area. I liked that the whole thing was one way and no reversing required as you could just drive through your camp area. I was expecting to be high on a hill but when you get there it all looks really flat until you walk to the lookout and you can see the drop down to the gorge. The walking track is 1.2kms of zig zagging down to the bottom over very uneven rocks took us about 20 mins. There was still some water in the gorge and lots of fish. It was a bit nippy though when I got in for a dip. Nice to cool down after the hike down but I think you need it more after the hike back up. We took a packed lunch and just lazed around reading at the bottom.

Heaps of red dragonflies and bottlebrush in full flower down at the bottom. The rock formations are very beautiful with eroded holes everywhere.

Simon lit a fire and after dinner and a small rat looking kangaroo which we have since found out was probably a bettong hopped along and started licking his dinner plate. I had not heard of them but they are the size of a cat, look a bit like a rat but hop like a kangaroo. He was obviously used to people camping there to come into the camp to lick a plate! 

The gorge is stunning and the campsite is called the Pyramid because of the rock formation. The rock was slowly exposed over time by the Porcupine Creek.  When the sun starts setting it is a bright red pyramid.
