Rainbow Gorge

In central western Queensland, Idalia National Park protects extensive mulga woodlands, the headwaters of the Bulloo River, and tributaries of the Barcoo River system. The broad, sandy, river red gum-fringed watercourses are usually dry, except following rain.

Mulga covers most of the park, but Mountain yapunyah, Dawson gum and lancewood occasionally grow in the low bendee woodlands on the escarpments and steep slopes. Yellow-footed rock-wallabies live in Idalia's high rocky escarpments.

At Rainbow Gorge, colourful sandstone rock formations can be seen in the headwaters of the creek. Following the creek, the gorge walk takes you down to where it intersects a track leading to the north-eastern boundary of the park.

While walking, you might also see mulga parrots, eastern yellow robins or common bronzewing pigeons. Look out for wallaroos, red kangaroos, grey kangaroos or the occasional koala.
