Cania Gorge National Park
- Cania Gorge National Park
Cania Gorge is a national park in Queensland (Australia), 373 km northwest of Brisbane. The nearest town is Monto.
The park's most dominant features are the high sandstone cliffs. Wildlife native to the park include rock wallabys, bettong, platypus, geckos and over 150 bird species.
A picnic area is located alongside the main road into the park, 8 km from the Burnett Highway. Facilities here include covered picnic tables, toilets and gas-powered barbecues. The majority of the park's walking tracks lead from this picnic area, including the 1.1 km trail to "Dripping Rock", 1.6 km trail to "the Overhang", and the 1.3 km trail to "Bloodwood Cave". The longest track in the park leads from a small car park 500 metres south of the picnic area. This 5.6 km circuit takes in "Giant's Chair Lookout", with views across the gorge; and "Fern Tree Pool", a permanent waterhole. Only walkers with moderate levels of fitness should attempt this track.
