About Bunyeroo Gorge
Bunyeroo Gorge is a rugged natural gorge in Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park, South Australia, about 430 km north of Adelaide. It forms part of the Bunyeroo Valley scenic drive and is notable for dramatic quartzite cliffs, creek beds lined with river red gums, and exposed geological strata spanning hundreds of millions of years. The gorge is valued for scenic driving, geology, wildlife viewing and access to remote Flinders Ranges landscapes.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a remote, arid gorge landscape accessed via an unsealed scenic drive with creek crossings, steep rocky walls and open valley views. The route passes through dry creek beds, river red gum woodland and rugged ridges. There are informal pull-offs for photography and sightseeing, walking opportunities, and nearby camping areas. Facilities are minimal within the gorge itself, with visitor services at Wilpena Pound. Roads are corrugated and can be rough after rain.
