Mutawintji National Park

There are many ways to experience the park:

• View some of the Aboriginal heritage of Mutawintji and hear how the features of the landscape in and around Mutawintji were created on a guided tour of Mutawintji Historic Site with a traditional owner;

• Immerse yourself in the landscape on one of the park’s walks; whether you prefer a short easy stroll or an overnight hike there are ample opportunities here;

• Camp under the stars at the Homestead Creek Campground, where you can re-invigorate yourself with a shower after a hard day exploring;

• Be inspired by amazing gorges, ephemeral creeks and waterholes; Mutawintji is one of the few reliable sources of water in the area which has made it attractive to both people and animals;

• Sit and relax at one of the sheltered picnic areas in the park;

• Enjoy the prolific birdlife of the park; more than 150 species have been recorded including the rare Hall’s babbler;

• Learn about the geology of the area; the area is considered to be of major palaeontologic significance.
