Carnarvon Gorge
My Google friend sent me some more shots1 of Carnarvon Gorge using Google Earth. They said:
Here’s a series of screenshots with different sea levels, showing how water may have emptied through Carnarvon Gorge, using 2.5x elevation exaggeration for emphasis. The view is from the head of the Gorge looking toward the water gap through Clematis [...]

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 [...]

A Google friend sent me some screen shots of the Carnarvon Gorge area, saying “I was inspired by your latest blog post to ‘Google-Earth’ Carnarvon Gorge.” The first shot here helps us picture what was happening as the floodwaters were receding. My friend says:
The blue sea level is set at 880m asl, and clearly delineates [...]

As you travel the unsealed road to Carnarvon Gorge, just before you reach the Camping Area, you pass through a break in Clematis Ridge. The photo from the top of the ridge shows it running south from where the people are sitting. Clematis Ridge extends across the whole entrance to the Gorge for a distance [...]

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 [...]
From the camp ground at Carnarvon Gorge, as you walk up Carnarvon Creek, the inner Gorge is about 1 km wide but soon narrows to half that size. The steep cliffs of white Precipice Sandstone can be seen to tower some 200 m above the floor. Kilometres beyond the rim of sandstone the outer walls of [...]

Tourists to the spectacular Carnarvon Gorge in Central Queensland, Australia, are told that Carnarvon Creek, carved the Gorge. 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. [...]

The standard explanation for Carnarvon Gorge in Central Queensland, Australia, is that Carnarvon Creek, which flows through the Gorge, shaped it over millions of years. However, there are many features about the Gorge that contradict this story, but are explained by the receding waters of Noah’s Flood. In order to appreciate these we need to [...]

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 [...]
