The Gorge runs between the source of the Condamine River and the town of Killarney in Queensland, Australia.
Commencing at this broad grassland, the gorge narrows as the river encounters harder trachyte rock.
It is a rich bio-region with at least 14 endangered or threatened species ranging from the azure kingfisher to the spotted tail quoll and the glossy black cockatoo.
Proper driver behaviour is appreciated including slowing down for cows and wildlife on the road, leaving no rubbish, and not driving up the river (platypus there).
[5] More recently Condamine River road has been subjected to exploitation by 4WD tourism operators and clubs which has led to overtourism and damage to the sensative riparian environment that supports one of the last Murray Darling breeding populations of platypus[6] and blackfish[7][8] in South East Queensland.
