Copperfield Gorge

Located right beside Einasleigh, Copperfield Gorge is an impressive sight. Cut deep into hard rock the resulting pools are deep and clear. Young daredevils from around the local are come here to impress the girls taking a leap into the water from high up on the rock Cliffs above.

Just over the road is the Einasleigh Hotel, now serving coffee and cake to the thousands of tourists making the trek through every year.

If you are travelling west from Mount Surprise, it is not a huge detour to visit here and Forsayth on your way west. Another popular journey is via the Savannalander railway motor from Cairns to Forsayth stopping in at Einasleigh for views of the Gorge and refreshments at the pub.Read more
