Description
Mickey Creek Gorge Walk is a 2.2 mile-long hiking trail in the Carnarvon Gorge section of Carnarvon National Park in central Queensland's Sandstone Wilderness, Australia.
The trail offers stunning views of towering walls and trickling creeks, and is a popular destination for hiking and walking enthusiasts. Visitors can twist around boulders and hop across the creek while keeping an eye out for timid swamp wallabies that live in the area. The full gorge is about 30 meters high and narrows to where visitors can touch both sides. At one point, there is a large rock wedged between the walls at the top, which is pretty spectacular. Visitors will also have to shimmy in some parts of the trail.
