Granite Gorge Nature Park
First stop after leaving Cairns was Granite Gorge Nature Park. 12 km west of Mareeba on the Atherton Tableland. A recommendation we were given a while back, in part due to the animals that we knew the girls especially would love.
Didn't disappoint as the they went straight to feeding the Rock Wallabies then onto the ducks, chickens, horses and anything else that would let them.
Was great to be back swimming in the fresh water rivers after a few hours driving in 36 plus degree heat.
Simon even got some help doing some small maintenance to the truck when a baby chicken came over to supervise the next day !

It is located just 12 km west of Mareeba on Chewko Road. Like no other place in the world this awesome landscape stretches as far as the eye can see. Volcanic activity has forced up huge weird boulders shaped into animals. The sheer size of some of these boulders is overwhelming. The rocks form a breath-taking sight stretching out for over a kilometre. We have three walks of 1km each and smaller circuits that will stay in your memory forever.
Vast drops reveal spectacular views of the volcanic rock terrain, softened by the verdant native trees and interspersed with creek beds.

Granite Gorge is located Just a little outside Mareeba is this must see destination especially if you are travelling with children, love wildlife or appreciate spectacular scenery photograph opportunities Granite Gorge. A delightful spot, rock wallabies can be seen all day, but Granite Gorge is best experienced in the afternoon when up to 50 rock wallabies converge in a small area hungrily waiting to be fed. The wallabies have grown up with human contact, and as a result are tame, friendly and happy to be touched and photographed while being hand fed.
Granite Gorge isn't only for children though, with a maze of walking tracks over the acres of massive granite boulders, and through National Park. The boulders were formed from volcanic activity which created a dramatic and chaotic path for the stream to meander through.
The stream dams among the granite in many places, creating safe swimming holes along the way, the pools are a delight to explore within themselves, and you might surprise a family or a couple of kids (as pictured right) taking a dip in their cool refreshing waters. In the wet season, the pace of the stream picks up, and one should take care around wet boulders, and otherwise slippery surfaces.
Granite Gorge is quiet and tranquil, nestled in the surrounding eucalypt forest. Much of the walking area is flat and easy-going, with abrupt cliffs providing panoramic views over the countryside.

The land is privately owned, and the caretaker asks for a small fee upon entry of $5 per person, or $10 for a family. Picnic areas and toilet facilities are also maintained, which makes Granite Gorge a perfect spot to break your journey, even more so on a hot day.
Granite Gorge is located southwest of Mareeba, turn off the Kennedy Highway onto Hansen Road, and follow the road signs to Granite Gorge. You will travel through about 14kms of sealed road and a small section (about 1kms) of good condition unsealed road which is approved with rental car companies to travel on. There is an interesting array of wildlife can be seen on the journey.
