Nice pics Sean. I went there in 1992. I still think of it when I get down and out about things. It looks exactly the same way I remember it except for the new viewing platform. It was called Porcupine Gorge back then. Not sure if they have changed the name but it?s still beautiful. I took the Kennedy Development Road from Hughenden to get there. It was a bit rough in the old laser and there were quite a few roo?s around to watch out for. I even found a young echidna on the track down from the camping ground. There is a sub species of Eucalyptus tessellaris growing in the gorge. I think it?s had a name change now but it looks like E. tessellaris. There was also a paper bark flowering further down past the pyramids. It looks like Melaleuca linariifolia but was more compact than the local form round here.
