We spent 3 days at Mt Moffatt. We went directly to Dargonelly Waterhole to camp. We had a permit before arriving and this camp is the closest to the entrace. It can be hard to find a perfect sunny spot for solar. Then we took the vehicle and went back down the road to do a chimneys etc. Can get a map at the info near the ranger station. We also drove up to the top (great views) andd went via Marlong Arch etc.
Anothe drive took us around to the Old Mt Moffatt station etc. Great country and drivesare diverse and the walks are not long yet interesting.
We left Mt Moffat and spent the next night at Injune showgrounds (pay at the info centre in town) Then the next day we went to Carnarvon NP.
Here you are not allowed to camp in the park and the monopoly is given to Takarakka Resort nearby where, while the campgrounds are nice the price is expensive ($40+) for powered site) We booked in ahead to ensure that we did not travel in there to find it booked out.
We stayed for 2 nights to minimise cost and did a long day walk up the gorge. Be sure to see Moss gardens and the amphitheatre.
Don't go near the place in rain and I wouldn't go in school holidays.
Great part of the country and we really enjoyed our visit, I had been before several times over many years. I would recommend both places as they are very different from each other.
