Gawler Ranges National Park

The Gawler Ranges National Park contains ancient volcanic formations, rocky hills, salt lakes, and diverse ecosystems across its extensive territory in South Australia.

The Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources established Gawler Ranges National Park in 2002 to protect the region's geological heritage and natural resources.

The Gawler Ranges People, comprising members of Barngarla, Kokatha, and Wirangu communities, received native title recognition of their ancestral lands in 2011.

Visitors require a high-clearance vehicle to access the park's camping grounds, which include basic facilities but necessitate bringing personal supplies of water and firewood.

The park protects rare plant species like the Gawler Ranges Hop Bush and Grevillea, along with yellow-footed rock-wallabies within its volcanic rock formations.
