Description:
Finch Hatton Gorge is a spectacular piece of tropical rainforest, interspersed by pristine rock pools and waterfalls. The Gorge is one of the most popular fresh water swimming holes in the region. Imagine swimming in a clear rock pool as water cascades down from tall boulders and large rainforest trees tower above. Facilities include BBQ equipment, free car park, picnic area and public toilts. Activities include animal watching, swimming, walking and camping. Most notably though is the Forest Flying eco-tourism experience, which allows visitors to view the rainforest 25 metres above ground. On top of this, you can find a large, refreshing swimming hole. Finch Hatton Gorge is also home to some very rare and unique flora and fauna such as the rare gastric brooding frog and the orange sided skink. It is located within the Eungella National Park, between Finch Hatton and Mackay, and is 1092km (678.5miles/ 12 hrs 57mins) from Village Roadshow Studios. The closest POH, Brisbane City, is 1031km (640.6miles/ 12 hrs 23mins) away.
