COBBOLD GORGE                                                                                             06/09/2019

Located in Far North Queensland's Gulf Savannah, near Forsayth is an ancient geological landform tucked away within the rugged sandstone formations called Cobbold Gorge. We drove out from Georgetown, there is a dirt road into the Cobbold Gorge but that add to the excitment of the drive.
It is  here that I seen my first ever fresh water croc in fact I seen 6 all up.

This unique narrow gorge is set amid rugged sandstone formations with spectacular 30 metre cliffs that narrow to just two metres wide. A cruise through this unusual gorge is an awesome and unforgettable experience. 
The last photo shows a new glass walkway and the narrow passage you go through. The walkway will not be for the faint hearted.

NORMANTON 06/09/2019

Normanton on the Matilda Way                                        September 2019

Be careful when in Normanton because they have very big Crocs, so the story is told see picture above, this is one that didn't get away.

 I didn't see any big salt water crocs but did find a couple of fresh water ones in the Normanton River.

The sunsets are just spectacular as you can see.  

Helicopter rides.

A helicopter or train ride can also be done from here.  

Normanton railway station is a heritage-listed railway station in Matilda Street, Normanton, Shire of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia. It was built in 1889, you can book a ride on the Gulflander. 

Affectionately said to go from ‘nowhere to nowhere’, the Heritage-listed Normanton to Croydon line was never connected to the state rail network and remains the only line in Queensland still measured in miles.

The sunsets are just spectacular as you can see.
