Geikie Gorge is situated at the junction of the Oscar and the Geikie Ranges. The Fitzroy River has carved a 30 metre deep gorge into the remains of the ancient limestone barrier reef that existed here in the Devonian period. You can go on a fantastic boat trip.
When the Fitzroy is in full flood during the wet season it covers the whole national park. Those floods rise over 16 meters up the gorge walls and the continuous rise and fall of the water has left the bottom of the walls bleached white, an unusual sight that makes Geikie Gorge very popular with photographers.
Aboriginal legend has it that the rock above are an old man who could not see well and wandered off and fell into the river, he remains there watching over travelers. You can make out his head, arm and knees.
One of the easiest gorges to see only 15mins from Fitzroy Crossing
Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
Do you have any helpful hints for newbie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
Hi, not really just be yourself and write what you feel. This was really written for my family and friends to follow us and as a record for us to look back on and enjoy when we are stuck at home working.
