The Finch Hatton Gorge Cabins

DAY 13: March 2nd, Finch Hatton Gorge

It was an early rise for us again, we caught the ferry back to Shute Harbour and then drove through to Mackay. After picking up lots of food and drink in Mackay for a barbeque that evening, we headed off towards Eungella (Young-gella) National Park. Today we were stopping at Finch Hatton Gorge which is located within the Eungella National Park and is a spectacular piece of tropical rainforest, interspersed by pristine rock pools and waterfalls. We were staying in the Finch Hatton Gorge Cabins, a lovely site with just three cabins, of which we would take up two. It was a truly back-to-nature experience, although that isn’t to say that the cabins were really basic. They were lovely, with bunk beds and a double bed, a kitchen and bathroom with shower.
