Davenport Murchison National Park, Protected wilderness area in Northern Territory, Australia.

Davenport Murchison National Park is a protected conservation area in Northern Territory, Australia, featuring mountain ranges, wide open plains, and rivers that flow mainly during the wet season. The landscape varies across different elevations and supports diverse native wildlife adapted to the harsh outback environment.

Artifacts in the park record thousands of years of Aboriginal presence; the Warumungu, Alyawarre and Kaytetye peoples are associated with this country. European settlement began in the early 20th century, leaving remains of pastoralism, mining and an old police station. The area was later protected as a national park, and it also carries the name Iytwelepenty.

The dual name Iytwelepenty comes from Indigenous language and reflects how local communities have connected with this land across many generations. Walking through the park today, you can see evidence of these lasting ties in the way water sources and natural features shape daily movement through the landscape.

The park is extremely remote with limited facilities nearby, so visitors should bring plenty of water, food, and fuel before arriving. Access is mainly via Stuart Highway, and using a sturdy vehicle is recommended along with checking local conditions before you set out.

Amelia Creek crater, an eroded impact structure, lies within the Davenport Range inside the park. Space imagery indicates the ridges and valleys were exposed by erosion only about 100 million years ago, although the mountains themselves formed in a tectonic event hundreds of millions of years earlier.
