Auburn River National Park

Two weeks ago my room mates Stephan, Andrew, and I decided to get some much needed time out in nature on our day off. Working on the mandarin farm is outdoors and quite nice work outdoors but still hard work and a load on the mind. So we made the 40 minute drive west out of Mundubbera to Auburn River National park. 

Auburn River NP is not a very big park with few features other than the impressive river, water falls, rock pools and lookout points over this rough section of the upper Auburn River. 

A short 600m descent from the car park spits you out amongst a valley of rocks that dwarf any human. What was most worthwhile about the rock was that you feel like a kid again, in a giant jungle gym with so many big rocks, rock pools and caverns to discover. Just have to be carful, there are open mine shafts in the park. 

This park was totally worth the visit for a sunny afternoon!
