We recommend everyone add this Queensland National Park to their bucket list!  Our stay was so enjoyable that we did not want to leave.  Campers who arrive earlier in the day will possibly even access a cliff edge campsite offering the most spectacular uninterrupted views to the north.  Simply set out the camp chairs and take it all in – especially stunning early morning and late afternoon as the rocks change colour with the angle…
