Knox Gorge
A less-visited deep gorge where a steep descent leads to pools on the floor, with towering red walls and a raw, untouched feel.
Knox Gorge lies on the east side of the Weano area and sees far fewer visitors than Hancock or Weano. From the car park, you first look down from a clifftop lookout, then descend a steep scree slope to the gorge floor (about 20 minutes). Following the creek downstream brings you to several pools. Beyond that, you must clamber over boulders (grade 5). The round trip is about 2 km and takes about 3 hours. The gorge floor has towering red walls and white gum trees, making it ideal for visitors who want to avoid crowds. The steep descent is slippery, so wear non-slip shoes.
