FAMILY FUN ATTRACTIONS INJUNE

Be ready to be awed by what awaits you on this walk in Carnarvon Gorge National Park, as The Art Gallery contains some of the finest Aboriginal rock art in Australia. Just 5.6 kilometres from the trailhead, at the junction of Kamoloo Creek, a signposted access track leaves the main walking trail upstream of crossing number 10, providing a gentle climb to the escarpment base where the site is located. Boardwalks, interpretive signs and seating facilities provide optimum conditions for visitors to appreciate this diverse range of Aboriginal artwork without endangering it. This extensive gallery contains more than 600 stencils and 1300 engravings. Aboriginal rock art on the sandstone overhangs is a fragile reminder of the Aboriginal people who used the gorge for thousands of years for ceremonies and rituals.

Henricks Park was initiated as a community project in 2002 by the artists of Injune and District. The land was donated to the Injune Community by the Henricks Family. Gladys Henricks lived on this site from the 1930s until her passing, the dwelling was subsequently relocated to a family property. With the support of the Council and the aid of Q150 and RADF funding, 60 willing volunteers set to work to transform the vacant land into a beautiful work of art that will 'Tell the Story of Injune' for future generations and visitors.

The Looking Glass walking track leads walkers through the colourful woodlands of the Maranoa River in the Mount Moffatt section of Carnarvon National Park, where pink trunks of smooth-barked apple trees rise above a carpet of wildflowers. Wind has eroded a cave right through an isolated pillar of Precipice Sandstone standing by the Maranoa River. This spectacular ancient sandstone formation has been appropriately labelled "The Looking Glass".
