The Gordon Splits is a notable section of gorges of the Gordon River, located in South West Tasmania, Australia. The once impassable gorges are situated on the lower Gordon River in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.[1] The splits has also been an important location of focus within the larger environmental campaign for wilderness preservation in South West Tasmania.[2]
