Canarvon Gorge: Canarvon Wilderness Lodge

On the 24th June 2nd – July, Harriet and I flew up to Rockhampton to see Claire our daughter for a whole week. We then went out to Canarvon Gorge for three days and walked several of the wonderful walks on two days.

Claire has left home about a year ago and is a wonderful primary school teacher up at MiddleMount. MiddleMount is a coal mining town 2.50 hours northwest of Rockhampton. We stayed at the Canarvon Wilderness Lodge. See the photos below.
