Finch Hatton Gorge

A rainforest gorge in Eungella National Park with boulders, waterfalls and clear swimming holes. The walk to Araluen Cascades (about 3 km return) and on to the Wheel of Fire Falls (about 4 km return from the cascades) leads to deep natural pools where you can swim.

The area also has a rainforest zip-line tour. It's at the foot of the Eungella range, a short detour from the road up to Broken River, so you can easily combine the two in a day from Mackay. The road crosses creeks that can flood after heavy rain, and the walking tracks can close.
