Gawler Ranges National Park, Nature reserve in Wudinna District Council, Australia.

Gawler Ranges National Park is a nature reserve in South Australia shaped by ancient volcanic rock formations, rocky hills, and salt lakes. These features create a varied landscape with different habitats and terrain types throughout the park.

The park was established in 2002 to protect the region's geological features and natural resources. Recognition of land rights for the local communities came later, marking an important step in acknowledging their connection to the area.

The Wirangu and Barngarla are the two Aboriginal groups of the region, and eight cultural sites within the park are registered as worthy of protection. Explorer Edward John Eyre crossed the Gawler Ranges in September 1839 and named them after George Gawler, South Australia's second governor.

To explore the area, visitors need a high-clearance vehicle, particularly for reaching the park's camping areas. It is important to bring sufficient water and firewood, as on-site supplies and facilities are limited.

The park is home to rare plant species such as Gawler Ranges Hop Bush and Grevillea varieties, along with yellow-footed rock-wallabies living among the volcanic rocks. This mix of uncommon species makes the place special for nature enthusiasts.
