Myanba Gorge walking track is a short walk that offers young and old the opportunity to experience this unique natural setting. The wheelchair-friendly boardwalk to the first viewing platform enables disabled and mobility impaired visitors to enjoy the views. And for those of you who want to venture further on foot, continue the track through the gorge. There is plenty of wildlife to see. Look out for echidnas, swamp wallabies, red-neck wallabies as well as the many forest birds you'll find. Pay special attention for the diamond pythons sometimes seen at the Gorge viewing platform. Why not make a day of it, pack a picnic and spend the day exploring the many stops along this remarkable car-touring route. The round-trip from Bombala takes you to Myanba Gorge and Pheasants Peak via the towering canopies of old-growth forest trees.
