Finch Hatton Gorge is located within the Eungella National Park and is a spectacular piece of tropical rainforest, interspersed by pristine rock pools and waterfalls.

The Gorge is one of the most popular freshwater swimming holes in the region with locals and visitors alike.

There is 2 main bushwalks that lead to pristine rock pools and waterfalls. The first track is 1.6 kilometres long and leads to the 'Araulen Falls'. The second longer walk, Wheel of Fire, which is a further 1.1 kilometres along, is just as spectacular as the Araluen Falls.
