WATARRKA NATIONAL PARK
Watarrka National Park is a national park of 71 000 ha. His Aboriginal name comes from a bush in the region. The park has been home to the Luritja Aborigines for over 22 000 years. The region was discovered late by the European explorer Ernest Giles in 1872. Watarrka includes the western part of the mountain chain called George Gill Range, located 300 km northeast of Uluru, with its irregular, steep rock formations, water holes and gorges that constitute a true refuge for the fauna and flora of the region. The park houses over 600 species of plants and animals. Here the relics of old yards can be seen along this pleasant walk to the pond. The total length of the road is paved and accessible in wheelchair and buggy/stroller. Water wells are sacred for Aboriginal people and important for wildlife. It is therefore strictly forbidden to bathe.
Camping in tent or caravan is not possible in the park. You can go to Kings Creek Canyon.

Faire la ballade jusqu'au sommet
Montée raide au début (mais pas très longue). Le paysage du sommet est très varié et surprenant.
A Faire absolument
N'hésitez pas à admirer le coucher du soleil ;)
