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.
