Yeperenye / Emily and Jessie Gaps Nature Park

Yeperenye / Emily and Jessie Gaps Nature Park is a protected nature park in the East MacDonnell Ranges, about 10 km east of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. It comprises two prominent gaps in the ranges - Emily Gap and Jessie Gap - carved by ancient watercourses. The park is notable for its dramatic quartzite cliffs, Aboriginal rock paintings at Emily Gap, and its importance in Eastern Arrernte Yeperenye (caterpillar) Dreaming.

Visitors can expect two accessible gorges with towering red quartzite walls set in the East MacDonnell Ranges. Emily Gap (Anthwerrke) features a large rock shelter with Aboriginal rock paintings and interpretive signs. Jessie Gap (Atherreyurre) is a smaller, scenic gap with a short walking track. The setting is arid with spinifex, ghost gums and sandy creek beds. Visitors can explore short walking tracks, viewpoints, picnic areas and car parks connected by a sealed road.
