ATTRACTION DINGO

Blackdown Tableland National Park protects a sandstone plateau rising abruptly above Central Queensland’s flat plains. Bordered by high rugged cliffs, this is the traditional home of the Ghungalu people. Rock art across the park reminds us of their connection with this country. Dissected by deep gorges, the park offers spectacular lookouts and scenic waterfalls. Unique plant communities thrive in the cooler, elevated climate. Several short tracks take in creeks, lookouts and interesting relics from the past. Go spotlighting at night or relax in the peaceful Munall campground. Camping fees apply; book in advance during school holidays. Enjoy the views from Horseshoe lookout. In a four wheel drive, explore the 19 kilometre loop road.

The origin of the town's name is shrouded in mystery! Some say a railway surveyor saw a dingo on the creek bank and gave the town its name, others say that Moses Wafer, an earlier pioneer, heard dingos howling at night and named the town around his camping site. A bronze statue of a Dingo is in the town commemorating the town's name.

Gudda Gumoo (Rainbow Waters) tracks are located in the Blackdown Tableland National Park. Rising abruptly above the surrounding dry plains, Blackdown Tableland protects spectacular sandstone scenery at the north-eastern edge of the Central Queensland sandstone belt. This is the traditional home of the Ghungalu people, who have visited this place for thousands of years and left behind rock art, vivid reminders of their special culture. Gudda Gummoo encompasses two walks: the 3.6 kilometre return walk to the Gudda Gummoo lookout, you can choose to walk on another 400 metres to complete the four kilometre return (including the lookout 3.6 kilometre section) gorge walk which continues on from the lookout walk. Moderate fitness is required. It involves short, steep slopes, some stairs and loose surfaces. Allow 1.5 hours for the Lookout return walk (or 2 hours for the gorge return walk). A higher level fitness is required to continue on 400 metres return to complete the gorge walk (four kilometres in total). It involves short steep slopes, 240 stairs leading to the base of the waterfall and loose surfaces. This walk is of a difficult grade. Allow two hours to complete the entire gorge walk (including the Lookout section)....
