Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park is one of Queensland's most scenic national parks. Situated within the remote north-west highlands of Queensland, the park features spectacular gorge country, sandstone ranges and World Heritage fossils. Lawn Hill Gorge is formed by Lawn Hill Creek, which is fed by numerous freshwater springs from the limestone plateau to the west. The magnitude of the sandstone cliffs lining the gorge, its emerald waters and lush vegetation make it a visual splendour. Serving as an oasis, the spring water and surrounding vegetation attract an abundance of wildlife. The Waanyi Aboriginal people have strong cultural ties with the park while pastoralists of European descent have more recent historical connections. Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park lies on ancient sandstone of the Constance Range, between the Barkly Tablelands to the south-west and the black soils of the Gulf Savanna Plains to the east. Lawn Hill Creek and the Gregory and O'Shanassy rivers flow all year round, providing a stark contrast to the dry, parched landscape during the dry season. Enjoy the spectacular scenery of the upper gorge on foot or by canoe. By foot, follow the track from the eastern end of the camping area into the gorge, and then stroll back along the creek edge to encounter a diversity of plant and animal life. This loop walk is recommended for experienced bushwalkers and should only be undertaken in the early morning. Keep to the walking track at all times. Stay clear of cliffs and steep rock faces and take care on uneven slippery track surfaces. Upper Gorge track Grade: difficult. Distance: 7 kilometres return. Time: allow 3.5 hours walking time. By canoe, Paddly upstream from the canoe hire landing to the spectacular orange sandstone walls of the Middle Gorge and continue to Indarri Falls. Use the portage track to carry your canoe around the falls to continue upstream. Do not climb on the falls—you can destroy years of natural tufa deposits. Paddle a further 1.3

The remote Prince Regent River in the East Kimberley is a pristine waterway that cuts through sandstone cliffs and gorges. The river offers spectacular scenery – in some places it runs entirely straight through the Pitta Gorge between near vertical cliffs. It’s a popular place for Kimberley cruising safaris which journey along the river to see some of its stunning attractions including the terraced rock formations of Kings Cascade waterfall. The Prince Regent River area contains some of Australia’s most spectacular coastal scenery, with sandstone cliff lines falling directly to the sea. It’s also home to an abundance of ancient rock art, as well as Jabiru and Magpie Geese which can be seen on the tidal flats in many of the inlets. The best way to access the Prince Regent River is by a prearranged boat or air tour from Kununurra or Broome.
