Rock Wallabies -
Feed the cute and friendly Mareeba Rock wallabies. There is no
better place to come in contact with the Mareeba Rock Wallaby. This
distinct species of wallaby is found only in rocky outcrops of the
Mareeba Area, north to Mt. Carbine and South to Mt. Garnet. Coloured
to match their stony surroundings, small Mareeba Rock Wallabies are
curious, quick moving and great fun to play with.
At Granite Gorge visitors have a fantastic opportunity to get up
close and personal with the wallabies in their natural habitat. -
Swimming at Granite Gorge - an experience not to be missed!
There are some
excellent swimming holes perfect for all ages.
Bathe in a natural formed outdoor spa. Granite Creek winds its way
through the rocky terrain forming tranquil pools and swimming holes.
Here you can enjoy a great family experience not to be missed.
