Trephina Gorge Nature Park

Overview

No trip to Central Australia is complete without a stop at Trephina Gorge Nature Park. Replete with hiking trails, this area is abundant with rugged nature and spectacular views that include the largest ghost gum in Central Australia.

The area is significant for its rich Indigenous history and the nearby John Hayes Rockhole might score you some wallaby and bird companions if you choose to sit down for a rest. It's the perfect locale for a day trip — or if you want to stay the night you can choose from one of three camping spots to sleep under the expansive desert skies.
