RV TRAVEL
Probably the most visited tourist location in the area would be Cobbold Gorge, where incredible geological formations have created narrow rivers through rock gorges. Created just 1700 years ago, these gorges have walls up to 30m high. Visitors can take a guided tour to hear just how they formed and how significant they are.
From the outside, Georgetown may seem like a sleepy little town, but it’ s what’ s in the surrounding area that has many visitors come back year after year. There are station stays and plenty of areas where the die-hard rock and gold fossickers can explore and dig to their heart’ s content. It’ s definitely worth a stop for a few days.
WHERE IS GEORGETOWN?
Georgetown is situated on the Gulf Developmental Road, which links Cairns 380km to the east and Normanton 300km to the west. It is located on the Etheridge River.
WHAT TO SEE AND DO
Georgetown is a great place to set-up base for a few days to explore surrounding natural highlights, local history or to try your hand at fossicking.
To the south there ' s the stunning Cobbold and Copperfield gorges, the town of Forsyth and the lone pub at Einasleigh.
