Rivers created this landscape of unique orange and black striped ‘beehive’ geological formations over a period of 20 million years.

We explore the 2km long Echidna Chasm, known for its towering Livistonia Palm trees, and take a short walk (2-3km) into stunning Cathedral Gorge, where towering rocks create a natural amphitheatre.
