The Giles Track
Take an adventurous two-day hike through Watarrka National Park.
Overview
Beautiful valleys, beehive-shaped sandstones and a plethora of native wildlife: the Giles Track has it all. This 22-kilometre walking track through Watarrka National Park, along the southern rim between Kings Canyon and Kathleen Springs, is best conquered in two days. Along the way, you'll trek through rocky watercourses, under tall rocky cliffs and past shady waterholes.
You can also expect to spy plenty of local fauna — think rock wallabies, goannas, ring-tailed dragons and peregrine falcons — as well as evidence of First Nations groups via grinding stones, stencilled art and rock carvings.
