Information

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.
