Amphitheatre

Capricorn Coast & the Southern Reef Islands


Found down a side gorge across the creek and some 350m from the main trail, and 4km from the main trailhead, this hidden garden, reachable via a scramble up some metal ladders and through a crack in the sandstone cliff, is a natural phenomenon. Formed by the erosion of a massive chunk of sandstone, and surrounded by soaring cliff walls, it's a place for quiet contemplation.
