Information

Lawrence Gorge is within the Waterhouse Range. The Hugh River dissects through the gorge at this point yet the entire Hugh River throughout the Owen Springs Reserve has considerable scenic and recreational appeal. There are numerous, attractive stretches of river with broad sandy banks lined with shady River Red Gums (Eucalyptus camaldulensis). In several places large waterholes remain long after rain and present outstanding opportunities for bush camping, picnicking, nature observation and photography.The appeal of the Hugh River is enhanced by the scenery of the adjoining rocky gorges and red sand country. Camping is allowed between the signposts within Lawrence Gorge.
