We recently took a trip to Carnarvon gorge to do the walk and partake in the culture and beauty of the area.Steadily flowing water has carved this gorge out of ancient sandstone. The same water, still flowing from the rock, has drawn people to Carnarvon Gorge for many thousands of years. Aboriginal people have a long and continuing relationship with this dramatic landscape. While visitors to the park usually associate Aboriginal history with the park’s rock art sites, the connection for Aboriginal people is with the entire landscape. The dreaming says that the rainbow serpent Mundagurra created Carnarvon Gorge as he travelled through the creek system, coming in and out of the water, and carving the sandstone as he travelled.

The rock painting in the Art gallery And the Cathedral Caves are spectacular and well worth the walk.The area is very sacred and spiritual and you you can feel the ancient history in the air.Is was a enlightening cultural experience that myself and my daughters took alot from on our journey of learning.
