West MacDonnell National Park

This vast and spectacular section of the MacDonnell Ranges, located west of Alice Springs, is an outstanding example of an ancient landscape sculptured over time by climatic elements. Cool scenic gorges are important refuges for a collection of plants and animals, many of which are found only here and some are relicts of a bygone era of tropical forests. There are many opportunities for visitors to explore and appreciate the scenic beauty and history of the area. Features of the landscape are significant in the stories of Western Arrernte Aboriginal culture, and have existed for many thousands of years.

Henbury Meteorites Conservation Reserve

Henbury Meteorites Conservation Reserve contains 12 craters which were formed when a meteor hit the earth's surface 4,700 years ago. The Henbury Meteor, weighing several tonnes and accelerating to over 40,000 km per hour, disintegrated before impact and the fragments formed the craters.
The scattered fragments of the Henbury Meteorite are extremely heavy since they consist mainly of the metals iron (90%) and nickel (8%). Over 500 kilograms of metal have been found on the site, the largest over 10 kilograms. Few specimens now exist in the area.

Tjuwaliyn (Douglas) Hot Springs Park

The Park protects part of the Douglas River, its riverine wildlife, and some of its thermal springs.
The Park is owned by the Wagiman people who jointly manage it with the Parks and Wildlife Commission.
The Wagiman women have the cultural responsibility of looking after this land. They ask that you help care for their country and respect their sacred places during your stay.
The Park is an important place for women's business ceremonies and Wagiman women retain the right to close the park should they wish to carry out ceremonies on their land.
