There’s nothing like Barron Gorge! |
Steve Wettenhall at Barron Falls
Mr Wettenhall said he entered the spectacular Barron Gorge National Park in the competition which invites Australians to share their favourite Australian holiday spot with the world.
"Barron Gorge is one of Queensland's oldest National Parks, located in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, and is just spectacular," he said.
"It's accessible by foot on the historic trails, by scenic railway, the Skyrail cablecar, coach or by private vehicle making it a very popular tourist destination.
"I believe there is really nothing quite like it and Far North Queenslanders are so lucky to have this in their very own backyard."
