Isla Gorge National Park

Sandstone monoliths stand proudly amidst a landscape marked by gorges at Isla Gorge National Park. Between the rugged cliffs and the gorges, wild vegetation flourishes in many shapes and colors. The area was designated a national park predominately for its flora, which includes such treats as wattles and boronias, as well as a rare species of ironbark tree. Birds like spiny-cheeked and blue-faced honeyeaters enjoy the park's plant life as much, if not more, than the people who visit. While there are no established walking trails within Isla Gorge National Park, a grade-four track carved along the park's cliff faces will take experienced hikers to a lookout facing Gorge Creek and Devils Nest, the best-known monolith on site.
