Cania Gorge
Cania Gorge is wild country.
Cania Gorge is wild country. Sandstone cliffs, fern-covered pools and boulder-strewn gullies make it a playground for bushwalkers and wildlife watchers. Keep an eye out for rock wallabies, rainbow skinks and wedge-tailed eagles. Follow the trails past ancient First Nations art and lush pockets of forest, or just soak in the raw sandstone scenery.
SANDSTONE
wilderness
Cania Gorge is ancient, wild and breathtaking. Hike through towering cliffs, explore caves and gorges, and see Aboriginal rock art that’s tens of thousands of years old. Keep your eyes open for rainbow lorikeets and rock wallabies while you wander.
Adventure &
Relaxation
After a bushwalk, cool off at Cania Dam with swimming, fishing, tubing or wake skiing. Stay in self-contained cabins or camp under the stars, it’s the perfect mix of thrill and chill in Queensland’s sandstone wilderness.
