N'Dhala Gorge Nature Park

N'Dhala Gorge Nature Park is a protected nature park in the Hart Range, about 90 kilometres east of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. It protects a scenic gorge with sandy creek beds and rugged rock walls containing approximately 6,000 Aboriginal stone engravings (petroglyphs). Managed by the Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory, the park is significant for its Eastern Arrernte cultural heritage and desert landscape, accessible via a 4WD track off the Ross Highway.

Visitors can expect a remote desert gorge with steep rock walls, a sandy creek bed and spinifex-covered slopes. A marked 1.5 km return walking trail leads into the gorge to viewing areas for thousands of petroglyphs pecked into the rocks. There are no built structures beyond a car park and information shelter. The setting is quiet and natural, with opportunities for sightseeing, photography and cultural heritage appreciation. Access requires a high-clearance 4WD on an unsealed track.
