The beautiful Lawn Hill Gorge can be found in Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park about 100 kilometres west of Gregory Downs, Queensland. The gorge is fed by freshwater springs coming out of the limestone and is a beautiful green colour from the minerals in the water. We paddled up to the top of the gorge to look at these springs - apparently 5 cubic metres of water per second enters Lawn Hill Gorge.
Canoes are available for hire so that you can see from the water how huge the sandstone cliffs are, that line Lawn Hill Gorge. You will need to carry the canoe across rocks in order to reach the upper gorge and paddle up to the springs. This is quite difficult even though hand rails and non-slip matting have been installed - but worth the effort if you are fit enough. The gorge and surrounding vegetation attracts plenty of bird life - we saw budgies in the wild (for the first time) finches nesting in the cliffs, beautiful Azure Kingfishers etc.
There are also a number of walking trails along the edge of Lawn Hill Gorge which offer great views. We took the Island Stack Walk during our visit and the gorge looks quite amazing from this vantage point. You can camp in the National Park (bookings and permits are required), or find accommodation at Adels Grove, a short distance away.
