Watarrka National Park in the Red Centre is found 330 kms south-west of Alice Springs, at the western end of the George Gill Ranges.

The park contains rugged ranges, gorges and rock-holes and is a refuge for many plants and animals. The most spectacular of these formations is Kings Canyon, a rich and fertile garden that is pocketed between towering sheer rock walls. The surrounding area is otherwise inhospitable desert. The canyon takes its name from the Kings Creek that flows through it.

Kings Canyon can be reached by a number of routes including the Stuart Highway or Larapinta Drive. The cooler months are a more pleasant time to visit Kings Canyon, as some walking is required to enjoy the magnificent landscape.

Deepest gorge in the Centre and magnificently beautiful. The red walls tower up to 270m and waterfalls tumble after rain. A path to the rim of the gorge leads to the Lost City and higher in the canyon and very difficult to reach is the Garden of Eden, an oasis of waterholes and plant life.
