A short walk off the main gorge track we found a haven of rainforest and moss and lichen covered rocks, trickling streams and a small waterfall cascading over a small ledge into a cool, welcoming pool created by the running water over thousands of years. With towering cliffs surrounding this natural garden, it was cool and a calming respite from the heat of the main track.
The walk into the garden with slender tree ferns, king ferns and water dripping down the rocks walls through lichen, and liverworts beside us, was almost as much a pleasure to experience as the pool at the end of the boardwalk.
A beautiful spot on our Central Queensland road trip
