Bowen Basin

The Consuelo Tableland to the north of Carnarvon Gorge would have been one of the first areas of land to emerge in Queensland as the waters of Noah’s Flood were receding from Australia. A rough calculation shows it would have been at least 224 days after the Flood began before the tableland emerged. The receding [...]

Carnarvon Gorge sits at the junction of two major sedimentary basins, the Surat and Bowen basins. This is illustrated in the geological section to the left1 which looks to the north west and cuts through the south wall of Carnarvon Gorge just east of its entrance.
The sedimentary strata to the west (left) of the [...]

When you look at the size of the gorge, with its inner walls reaching up 200 metres and the outer walls in the far distance rising 600 metres, it’s seems beyond belief that the creek could do that job.

Carnarvon Gorge is a spectacular natural wonder in the semi-arid heart of Central Queensland, 600 kilometres northwest of Brisbane. At its mouth the Gorge sits 600 metres below a basalt plateau. The boulder-strewn Carnarvon Creek winds through its 22 kilometre1 length. The Gorge sits at the junction of two major geological basins (See Figure 3 [...]
