Lawn Hill Gorge
An incredible outback wonderland.
Overview
Way out west is where you'll find Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park. This lush green outback oasis is nestled near the Queensland and Northern Territory border. It's recommended you hire a 4WD to properly explore the park.
There are several walking trails along the Lawn Hill Gorge, and intrepid travellers are rewarded with deep blue billabongs hidden among the bright red sandstone. Further into the park lies the Riversleigh World Heritage Site, containing fossils dating back 15 to 25 million years, including the long-extinct 'marsupial lion'. The site is so impressive that it even sparked the attention of Sir David Attenborough in recent years. Pretty remarkable stuff!
