Lawn Hill. NP

Hi Tony

First of all, you are going to be in for a real treat, as the Lawn Hill area is just unreal.

There are around 5 fantastic walks to do and make sure that you do them all, as well as hiring a kayak for doing the compulsory Lawn Hill paddle.

We stayed at Adels Grove and drove to the National Park every day and did every hike, one each day in the cooler morning period, as it will be hot there when you get there.

Make sure you carry lots of water on the hikes, as you will need to keep hydrated.

Enjoy one location that should be on every Australian's bucket list.


Now to show you a few images to see what you are in for.........lol



Cheers

For Lawn Hill itself, you could camp at the national parks campground overlooking Duwadarri Waterhole (part of Lawn Hill Creek. But you have to book your site on line.

We stayed at Adels Grove and drove the ten kilometres to the gorge each day as we were unsure of we would have fitted into the campground sites, and we wouldn't have. Adels is a lovely campground with all services except power.

Hi Tony.

Here are a couple birds that you may like to look for.
The Sandstone Shrike Thrush lives around the western edge of the "Island Stack" (walk 1 on the map).
I have seen Painted Finches at a small waterhole on top of the Constance Range (walk 5 on the map) if you walk clockwise, just over the top of the ridge on the western side.
There is a dam on the left as you drive in from Adels Grove, just back from the hills as you approach Lawn Hill. There is a track off to the left. Painted Finches come in there as well.

Good luck.

Cheers,

Mike

Is Lawn Hill NP affected by the current dispute at Lawn Hill Station?

Hi Tony, we headed to Lawn Hill last year and was an experience of a lifetime. We stayed at Adels Grove in the Grove rather than the National Park, we did book prior to arriving. We were there in early June, so wasnt too crowded and had a fantastic site along side the river. We drove to the National Park to canoe the gorge, we took inflatable canoes with us but decided to hire a double canoe as it is quite a paddle, then lifted the canoe out of the water and paddled up the higher gorge. Sites were spectacular. Great walks in the parks that cater for all fitness levels. We spent four days at Adels Grove, an oasis in the middle of no where, totally loved it as I am sure you will. We also stayed a couple of nights at Gregory Downs which if you get a chance is a great place to enjoy the rapids on inflatable tyres and the birdlife was amazing. Need to be there early to get a good stop, a popular place to stay ! We did fish at Adels Grove and managed to get a couple of fish, not certain what they were, but was catch and release. Good luck and enjoy your adventure.
