Palm Valley
4WD only
Palm Valley, known as Australia’s own Jurassic Park is a jaw dropping camping spot accessible by 4WD and well worth a stop. The origin of the Red Cabbage palms among the rock faces has fuelled urban legends for decades.
Redbank Gorge
Unsealed road. High clearance vehicle recommended
Who needs water parks when you’ve got Redbank Gorge? We hope you’ve packed your swimming gear, because you won’t want to miss a cool dip among scenery that’s out-of-this-world.
Tnorala (Gosse Bluff)
4WD only
Climb into a 142.5 million-year-old comet impact site. About 5km in diameter, Tnorala (Gosse Bluff) is a place of special significance to its traditional owners. According to Aboriginal belief, Tnorala was formed in the creation time, when a group of women danced as stars in the Milky Way.
Rainbow Valley
4WD recommended
Be sure to check out the sandstone bluffs and cliffs of Rainbow Valley at dawn or dusk, when the rainbow-like rock bands are at their finest.
Erldunda Roadhouse
2WD or 4WD
Say g’day to some feathered and furry friends! With an emu farm and kangaroo enclosure, Erldunda Roadhouse is the perfect stop for some happy snaps and to get a quick bite to eat.
