QLD
Central Tablelands - Salvator Rosa Carnarvon National Park
Spring-fed Nogoa River
and Louisa Creek wind through a picturesque broad valley beneath craggy sandstone
outcrops in the Salvator Rosa Section of Carnarvon National Park. At the western
edge of central Queensland’s sandstone belt, Salvator Rosa contains
deeply eroded and spectacular rock formations, such as Spyglass Peak and the
Sentinel, which dominate the skyline.
Eucalypt
woodland and open forest cover most of the park. The wildflower displays are
spectacular in spring. At least 10 of the park’s recorded 300 plant
species are rare or threatened.
