About Umbrawarra Gorge Nature Park
Umbrawarra Gorge Nature Park is a protected nature park in the Victoria Daly region of the Northern Territory, about 115 km west of Pine Creek. It protects a narrow sandstone gorge cut into the plateau, with seasonal waterholes, sandy creek beds and rugged cliffs. The park is valued for its scenic landscape, bushwalking and seasonal swimming, and for its cultural significance to local Aboriginal people.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a remote, rugged sandstone gorge with steep red cliffs, a sandy creek bed and seasonal waterholes. A marked walking track leads about 1.5 km return into the gorge over sand, rocks and boulders to a swimming hole at the gorge end when water is present. The setting is natural and undeveloped with basic picnic and camping facilities, surrounded by open woodland and escarpment country.
