Hi
We are leaving from
Taroom to go to
Robinson Gorge area and then on to Canarvon/Mt Moffat any advise on great
places to
camp(have gps) and the one's to avoid would be appreciated. Rough tracks ok(if there are any), have not booked any
camp spots as don't like doing so not knowing what they are like. If they are full we will just move on.
Thanks for your help
Cheers Lyndon & Bernadette

North of
Taroom on the HWY is
lookout into Isla
Gorge. Used to
camp there (no facilities)
Haven't been to
Robinson Gorge for while.
Mt Moffatt is a great area. It is national park and
ranger station as you enter. Lots to see (paintings, chimneys,
molong arch, kenniff
cave, etc) depending on time of visit it can be very dry and dusty.
The lion's
lookout up the top of the
hill is a nice spot but camps available down the bottom and would be great if water is about (like now)
Watch fuel. last fuel is
Injune and you if staying for a while you may drive around the roads a bit and still have to get back to
Injune.
Will get a
camp spot at
Carnarvon without booking if it is not school holidays.
It is a long way around from Moffatt to
carnarvon gorge. The Mt Moffatt road stops at the top
lookout. (only a short hike from Battleship spur)
Better time to go is when cooler (for walking). Summer can be hot and can get floodbound very easily if raining.
Have a great trip. It is great area.

Spot on Alan. Mt. Moffatt is a great spot. You can pick up fire wood just before you enter the park.
A great spot to visit out of school holidays.
Regards.
