Isla Gorge National Park — Attraction in Isla

A beautiful spot and a real hidden gem with some truly stunning unspoiled bushland. The road in was a bit rough (for our little sedan), but would be fine for most 4WD's and SUV's. The road wasn't long, we took it slow and the sedan managed it without any issues, it was just bumpy. The facilities are basic, but clean and functional. Only three picnic tables, so you need to be quick. There are male/female toilets and places to camp. The walking track to the lookout is not really marked but is quite obvious and easy to follow. There is one spot where young kids and older walkers might need to be a bit careful, but our 5 year old managed the climb with a little help. Probably not a good idea to let young children wander alone as the cliff edges are not fenced (especially on the walk to the lookout). The lookout walk is definitely not suitable for those in wheelchairs, but would be fine if they just wanted to look around the car park area and the views from the car park are...

Disappointing experience. Scarcely any birds and average bush quality with no wildflowers (even in spring). As it's only a km from the highway it attracted poor quality, non paying free loaders that had no respect for the environment. Just about everyone took habitat and set up campfires with no enforcement of the rules by NP officers. The ignorance of people that use important conservation areas is staggering. A good place to see the desertification...

Did a quick detour on our road trip to the gorge. Dirt track to it is pretty reasonable, accessible in a small car currently anyway. Views from different points show different formations/points. Would be nice early morning or late afternoon to see the sun hit the rocks differently. Only wondered down the walking track a little as it was quite hot, but was a good spot. An easy detour along a trip so you can stretch your legs and walk around...
