N'Dhala Gorge Nature Park, Protected nature park in Eastern MacDonnell Ranges, Northern Territory.
The N'Dhala Gorge contains numerous rock carvings scattered throughout its landscape of sand dunes and rocky outcrops at 640 meters elevation.
Established in December 1962, this 5.01-square-kilometer park preserves thousands of petroglyphs created between 10,000 and 3,000 years ago.
The Eastern Arrernte people named this area Ilwentje and created over 6,000 rock carvings using techniques of pounding and fine pecking.
The park requires a four-wheel drive vehicle to access via unsealed roads, with visitors needing to bring water and wear protective clothing.
Among the natural features, the park contains undoolya wattle trees and peach-leafed poison bush, adding to its ecological significance.
