Finke Gorge National Park covers an area of 46,000 hectares, and includes the impressive
Palm Valley.
Palm Valley is
home to a diverse range of plant species many of which are rare and unique to the area, including the Red Cabbage Palm for which the Park is
well known.
This species of Palm is restricted to this area, having a
population of around 3,000 adult plants.
The Park and nearby areas hold cultural significance to the Western Arrernte Aboriginal people as
well as displaying evidence of early
European settlement of central Australia.
