Porcupine Gorge
Australia
Porcupine Gorge is a gorge on Galah Creek in Porcupine, Shire of Flinders in North West Queensland, Australia. It is a protected area within the Porcupine Gorge National Park. Access to the gorge and national park is via the Kennedy Development Road. The sandstone gorge has incised up to 40 m below the adjacent plateau surface. In winter the base of the gorge is a series of waterholes while in the wet season it becomes a raging cascade which has excavated a deep chasm. There is an annual race held in the gorge called the Porcupine Gorge Challenge. It starts at the bottom of the gorge at The Pyramid. The gorge is a natural attraction for a diverse array of birdlife.
