Among the attractions in the Gulf are the
Undara Lava Tubes
near Mount Surprise, the beauty of Cobbold Gorge, and
the rainforest of Lawn Hill National Park near the Queensland / Northern
Territory Border. The Lawn Hill National Park is also the third World
Heritage listed area in Tropical North Queensland - the Riversleigh
Fossil Fields. Added in 1994 to the World Heritage register, the
immense limestone expanses of Riversleigh are considered one of the
paleontological finds of the century. Many travellers tour the Gulf by their own means, taking the time
to enjoy the wide open spaces and the many attractions such as the
bird life around waterholes or fishing remote rivers and waterways. Of
course, there are also many organised tours departing from Cairns and
other centres throughout the
Gulf Savannah.
Although the Gulf Savannah is a vast region, it is thinly populated
with towns and small communities, all within easy driving distance of
each other.
