12. El Questro Station & Emma Gorge

El Questro Station is an outback retreat sprawling across 700,000 acres of wilderness.

Set along the banks of the Pentecost River, it was originally established as a cattle station in the early 1900s, then transformed in the 1990s into a pioneering wilderness resort that helped upgrade outback travel and redefine itself as an eco-tourism destination.

We took a mild one hour walk to Emma Gorge, a tranquil pool fed by a thin waterfall, and enjoyed a refreshing swim.

And, we got a HUGE treat tonight when our guides announced there were pre-erected tents for us at the campsite. Decadence!!Weiterlesen
