A remote national park in the southern Barkly region protecting a rugged quartzite range with spectacular gorges, waterholes, and Aboriginal art. The park is one of the NT's least-visited and most rugged — 4WD only with no facilities. The Whistleduck Waterhole is the main attraction. A truly off-the-grid experience. Davenport Ranges is the NT's most remote and least-visited national park. The isolation and raw landscape are its attraction — total wilderness in the heart of Australia.
