Howdy. We are on day 82 of our 6 month adventure. Currently in
Palm Cove and heading south... The initial plan was to arrive in
Carnarvon Gorge on 24th of Sept and ideally be in
Chinchilla on the 27th however due to school holidays
Carnarvon Gorge is booked out... So.
Having no idea about either
Carnarvon Gorge or
Lake Nuga Nuga NP can anyone answer:
(a) is
Lake Nuga Nuga likely to be busy as
well given it is more remote and you can't actually book to stay there
(b) any other suggestions for ways to see
Carnarvon without actually camping in it...?
my last post on the
forum about Aviation Camps received a great response for which I was very appreciative so any help again is appreciated....

The actual
Lake Nuga Nuga is private property,
Nuga Nuga National Park is the big
hill next to the lake, that said it seems as though the owners give everyone free rein regarding access to the lake. The road in (off
Arcadia Valley) can be fairly rough at times and was closed most of last year and earlier this year. Most people go in there for the peace and quiet and twitching.
Not too sure if you can get through "
Arcadia Station" to get to the
Carnarvon Highway or you may have to go down to "Wallaroo" to get though if you want to get to
Carnarvon Gorge.

Re
Carnarvon Gorge - is Takarakka Bush Resort also booked out?
That and the NP
campground (very small) are the only official
places to
camp.
Only way to see it is walking AFAIK.
There's a chopper that flies you over another nearby
gorge area (they are not allowed to fly over CG NP) - as we'd walked CG previously we drove in, did the chopper flight and went back out and bush camped that night.
Can't comment on how busy Nuga Nuga would be but it was a very quiet relaxing spot when we were there last month. 2 other campers in there apart from us but that was out of school holidays. Road in was bumpy but it was OK at the appropriate speed and tyre pressures.

Don't discount going to Mt Moffatt as it is a great experience as
well abiet a little bit more remote to
Carnarvon Gorge.
Cheers Kev
