Within Carnarvon National Park, Tombs Circuit walking tracks
lead from the orientation area to unusual rock pillars and an
Aboriginal art site. The track passes the Chimneys, three
pillars of rock that have been separated from the narrow end of
a small bluff of Precipice Sandstone, where water has eroded
down vertical fractures. Beyond the Maranoa River the sandstone
bluff known as The Tombs shelters more than 400 stencilled
Aboriginal motifs. The Tombs once contained burial chambers for
local Aboriginal people. Take a close look at the rock art from
a boardwalk with seats. Continue along the circuit to the
Looking Glass, where wind has eroded a cave right through an
isolated sandstone pillar standing by the Maranoa River. The
Park is also noted for its birdwatching opportunities with at
least 172 species recorded.Visit Website Car park, Picnic Area,
