At this wide section of Porcupine Gorge the ancient savanna landscape tols down the slopes to the
creek below.The formation of this gorge began about 280 million years ago when Porcupine
Creek started to erode layers of rock. At this location it was a meandering
creek, meeting with tributaries to create these gently-sloped walls.From here you have an uninterrupted view of the Pyramid - the
rock formation for which this area is named. This large rock was slowly exposed over time by Porcupine
Creek demonstrating the powerful combination of
water and time. Today the melaleuca-lined Porcupine
Creek still trickles through
the gorge.
It supports permanent and transient residents including freshwater turtles and dragonfly larvae.Look for the
Pyramid track snaking its way to the bottom of
the gorge. Unlike the steeper sections, this part of
the gorge is accessible by foot. Walk the track to fully appreciate the natural beauty of
the gorge and its history.
