About this place
At Riverbend a dramatic cliff face carved by the Irwin River displays a cross section of rock, revealing five evolutionary periods of the park’s geological history and providing visual evidence of how the surrounding landscape was formed.
Riverbend is a place where visitors can explore the park’s geology, or simply enjoy a picnic while appreciating the colourful wildflower displays in spring. Informative signs interpret the area’s geology, flora and fauna
Safety information
Plan when to visit. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!
