Information

Illamurta Springs Conservation Reserve encompasses the southern foothills of the James Range, a permanent natural spring where several relict aquatic plant species are found and the ruins of the former Illamurta Police Camp.

A large number of stone artefacts, including fragments of grindstones can be seen in the reserve, providing evidence of Aboriginal occupation. An important cultural site for the Southern Arrernte (Pertame) Aboriginal people, the area is part of the 'Kuniya-Snake' (Python) dreaming.
