Gawler Ranges National Park

Gawler Ranges National Park is located 350 km north west of Adelaide. It is a popular area for touring and bushcamping, offering walks, nature trails and fascinating geology, including ancient rock formations that formed as a result of volcanic eruptions approximately 1,500 million years ago. The park is home to numerous wildlife, including some threatened wildlife species such as the malley fowl and yellow-footed rock-wallaby. The park is also rich in history, containing several sites of Aboriginal heritage, mainly archaeological and burial sites.

There are a number of bushcamping sites throughout the park and all have toilets and picnic tables. Campfires are permitted outside the fire ban season and you will need to bring plenty of your own water.

Access to Gawler Ranges National Park is via unpaved roads from Wudinna, Kimba and Minnipa. Most vehicle tracks are recommended for 4WD vehicles only and the routes can be hazardous in places, in wet weather.
