- Meet at Nyanda's Entrance
At the entrance of Nyanda Station we will meet for an introduction to the station’s fascinating history before starting our scenic drive into the rugged ranges.
- Scenic Drive to Black Alley
As we traverse the elevated sandstone terrain, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of various distinct ecosystems and ancient gorges. As we near the Carnarvon National Park boundary, the terrain will shift from sandy to rocky, culminating in our private lookout.
- Crossing Black Alley and Consuelo Creeks
Nyanda is bisected by two important creek systems from the national park's gorges, which converge to form the larger Consuelo Creek. These creeks are rich in plant life, including Sheoaks, Carnarvon Palms, Fig Trees, Lily Pillies, and Bracken Ferns. We will drive through their shallow crossings en route to the lookout.
- Arrive at the Lookout for Tea/Coffee Break
After cresting the final hill to the lookout, you'll be greeted by an unparalleled view of Consuelo Gorge, which can only be seen and accessed from Nyanda Station. We will pause beneath a shady tree to enjoy the scenery and a hot beverage of your choice, accompanied by basic snacks.
- Return Drive to Nyanda Entrance
Finally, we’ll retrace our path back to the entrance of Nyanda for the conclusion of our tour. We hope you enjoy this unforgettable experience!
