A little-known gorge 22km southwest of Pine Creek with shady rock pools for swimming, Aboriginal paintings, and ancient gold mine remnants from the 1870s. The walk follows the dry creek bed for 2km to reach the deepest gorge pools. Rarely visited and genuinely off-track. Umbrawarra Gorge combines three NT themes in one: gold rush history, Aboriginal culture, and a beautiful remote swimming gorge — all within easy reach of the Stuart Highway.
