Cania Gorge National Park
Cania Gorge National Park sits around 500 kilometres northwest of Brisbane, and 200 clicks west of Bundaberg.
Cania Dam is right next door and is a great place to try your luck on a Cania Bass or Saratoga. Visitors can base themselves a short drive from the dam at the Cania Gorge Tourist Retreat.
There’s plenty of walking tracks to explore the national park that leave directly from the retreat.
They offer self-contained air-conditioned cabins as well as powered and unpowered campsites. Don’t miss the daily bird feeding at 4 pm.
