A remote gorge in the East MacDonnell Ranges containing over 6,000 ancient Aboriginal rock engravings (petroglyphs) dating back at least 10,000 years — one of the highest concentrations of rock art in Australia. Access requires 4WD via steep sandy tracks. The engravings include concentric circles, animal tracks, and ceremonial designs. One of Australia's most significant rock art sites. The sheer density of 6,000+ petroglyphs makes this an extraordinary cultural record of ancient human presence.
