Information

N’Dhala Gorge is a cultural treasure with 6,000 individual petroglyphs, or rock carvings, found in 438 engraved sites along the main gorge and 240 engraved sites in the side gorge.

It is suggested that engraving occurred over two time periods.
The first was around 10,000 years ago and the second started about 3,000 years ago.

There is a 1.5km, about a one hour return, walk through the gorge where you can see rare plants such as the Hayes wattle (Acacia undoolyana).

Bush sites are available for camping, but you must bring your own water and supplies.
