Yeerung Gorge also known as - a jewel on the Cape - is a surprising landform that harbours some unusual vegetation associations and contains several deep dark rock pools fed by the babbling East Yeerung River.
You can reach the gorge, which is deeply incised into the coastal plain, by crossing the Yeerung Bridge and taking the Powerline Track and the East Yeerung Track (4WD only) to the carpark. The walk into the Gorge is 0.6 km, 20 mins one way from East Yeerung Track Carpark.
Visitor Tip:
There is no Phone reception and no facilities provided at the carpark. Ticks are common in this area and visitors should take steps to avoid tick bite by wearing protective clothing and using insect repellent.
