Cania Gorge National Park – North Burnett

Cania Gorge National Park is an awesome place to explore with kids. Located just outside of Monto it's a must do when visiting the North Burnett.

The Park includes some great walks as well as Lake Cania.  We recently spent a week here with our Wide Bay Kids and loved it.

There are some great walks that leave from the Cania Gorge Picnic area along Park Road.

All the walks we've done were class 3 and required general fitness and agility. If you don't like climbing stairs these walks are probably not for you, having said that we found ourselves stopping a few times for a bit of rest before continuing.

The picnic grounds have lots of shade, direct access to a running creek, toilets and clean water.  We found heaps of people taking a dip in the creek after their walk, we opted for a swim at Lake Cania.

Dripping Rock and The Overhang are on the same track. Just keep going and when you are sure you must have passed it, you'll find it just around the corner!

Dripping Rock is a great walk with kids. Under 3's will find it pretty difficult. We saw a few kids being piggy backed out the day we went. 

There was not much 'dripping' when we visited. We saw a wet mossy rock surrounded by ferns. We are told just after rain water flows down the face of the rock.

Along the way we stopped off and played on some large boulders in a dry creek bed. The kids absolutely loved this little adventure. It was great to see them climbing and exploring in an environment they were very unfamiliar with.
