Hidden in the Gulf Savannah of Queensland is a natural wonder you will want to put on your bucket list. 

CAMPS Ambassadors Dan and Manda cruised the gorge and trekked the walls, capturing these beautiful images. 

The only access to this unique landmark is via a guided tour. The rugged sandstone cliffs are up to 19 metres high, and includes an area of about 80 square kilometres. The gorge narrows to just 2 metres in places which indicates that it is the youngest known gorge in Queensland today. Be wowed by the geological processes you will see!
