Attractions

Temple Gorge is the hub for accessing the eastern side of the range.

Draper's Gorge cuts deep into the range and features a series of seasonal waterfalls and small rock pools along its length.

The raised viewing area, a short walk from the carpark, has a good view of the battlement-like face of the range. Sunrise is a particularly good time to experience the view.
