Umbrawarra is a striking isolated
gorge featuring steep
red cliffs, and a small creek that meanders through it in the early to mid-dry season. Visitors can walk alongside the creek to a large
pool with a small sandy beach. The rest of
the gorge can only be reached by wading, swimming and
rock hopping. The Wagiman people speak for this land. Look carefully and you’ll see Aboriginal art on the
gorge walls. The
carpark near the entrance of
the gorge was the site of a tin
mine in the early 1900’s
The walk into
the gorge starts about 300m from the camping ground. A footpath soon ends and the track passes a number of pools.
The gorge walls get higher with trees growing out of crevices and a splendid mix of colours in
the rock layers.
