Take a picnic to enjoy on the riverbanks and cool off with a swim at one of the many swimming spots along the way.  Experienced canoeists will make it to the end of the fourth and fifth gorges. Be sure to check out the lush hanging gardens with an almost rainforest-like atmosphere – a great place to have a break and enjoy some cool shade.  Discover the crystal clear rockpools and waterfalls, pandanus trees and grasslands. Paddling back in the late afternoon is a magical time in the gorges where the sunlight starts to change and the sandstone escarpments reveal deep red and orange hues – the ideal way to end a fantastic day of adventure.
