Carnarvon Gorge's Art Gallery vs Cathedral Cave 👇

Most visitors make it to the Art Gallery. Fewer make it to Cathedral Cave, and it's a very different experience.

🎨 Art Gallery
📍 10.8km return from the Visitor Area
One of Australia's finest examples of stencil art. Hand and boomerang stencils, engraved animal tracks and intricate geometric designs layered over at least 3,650 years. The sheer concentration and variety of rock art is the standout.

🏞️ Cathedral Cave
📍 18.2km return from the Visitor Area
A massive sandstone overhang (not actually a cave!) that sheltered Bidjara and Karingbal peoples for generations. Hand stencils, engravings and unique motifs can all be found here. Together, the rock art and the enormous sandstone shelter make Cathedral Cave a truly memorable stop.

Our verdict? If you're short on time, the Art Gallery is the easier option. If you're heading further into the Gorge, Cathedral Cave offers a completely different experience and is worth the extra walk.

I lost my best friend, Libby Walker in March this year, to cancer. On the 9th June she should be here celebrating her 58th birthday — instead, I’ll be walking every step of this journey for her.

I’m taking on the 240 km Larapinta Trail SOLO over 14 days to support the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) in their mission to achieve a world without cancer. Larapinta end to end was on Libby’s bucket list – So she will be with me in spirit on this hike all the way.

I’m raising vital funds because 2 in 5 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85. With your support, we can change the future — improving how cancer is prevented, diagnosed, and treated, and giving families more time, more hope, and more moments together.

Thank you for your generosity. When you support ACRF, you’re backing Australia’s best cancer researchers and helping deliver breakthroughs to the people who need them most. That could be someone you love — a friend, a family member, a neighbour — or even yourself.

This hike is for Libby.
It’s for everyone we’ve lost.
And it’s for everyone still fighting. 💙
Every donation, big or small, helps turn loss into hope.
Share please 🙏
