Another must-visit stop while hiking through Carnarvon Gorge is Cathedral Cave, especially if you're into ancient rock art and Aboriginal culture. This 6-hour trek takes you to one of the most impressive cultural sites off the Main Gorge track. As you walk through this massive wind-eroded overhang, which has sheltered Aboriginal people for thousands of years, you'll be captivated by the vivid paintings, stencils, and engravings on the sheer white sandstone walls. It feels like stepping back in time, offering a profound connection with the rich history of this stunning landscape. Don’t forget to take a moment to soak in the serene atmosphere and reflect on the incredible cultural heritage that this place embodies.
