Eungella National Park Mackay

One slip can change your life

Take extreme care around cascades and fast-flowing water at Finch Hatton Gorge. Tragically, people have died in accidents around the Finch Hatton Gorge area. Many more have been seriously injured―including spinal injuries. These incidents are specifically due to slipping on the wet slippery rocks and steep wet slopes and jumping into water holes. Please take warnings seriously and do not enter a restricted access area.
