The accommodation

It is believed that the lake only formed within the last 160 years, the result of a series of natural events. Heavy rain and flooding of the Brown River filled the existing lake and surrounding swamps, before a scouring flash flood in Moolayember Creek transported large amounts of silt into the vicinity of the lake. When these waters reached the right-angle junction with the Brown River, turbulence caused the deposition of silt to form a natural levee bank at the lake's northern end.

The accommodation

Located a short five minute drive from Carnarvon Gorge National Park on sealed roads. Every site has stunning 360 degree views of the surrounding ranges, all sites are drive through and spacious to ensure maximum enjoyment and comfort duering your stay.

Carnarvon Gorge is an oasis in the semi-arid heart of Central Queensland.  Here, towering white sandstone cliffs form a spectacular steep-sided gorge with narrow, vibrantly-coloured and lush side-gorges. Boulder-strewn Carnarvon Creek winds through the gorge. A wealth of cultural and natural heritage lies within this special place. The gorge is home to a range of significant plant and animal species, many of them relics of cooler, wetter times.  Remnant rainforest flourishes in the sheltered side-gorges while endemic Carnarvon fan palms Livistona nitida, ancient cycads, ferns, flowering shrubs and gum trees line the main gorge. Grassy open forest grows on the cliff tops. The park's creeks attract a wide variety of animals including more than 173 species of birds.
