Information

This gorge is a feature of the East MacDonnell Ranges with quartzite cliffs and watercourses lined by river red gums. Two gorges dissect the range: Trephina with its wide views and sandy creek bed and John Hayes Rockhole with steep, narrow rock walls. There is plenty of birdlife attracted to these waterholes and the area offers some good walks.
There are 3 camp grounds, one of which is 4WD only (John Hayes Rockhole). The campgrounds are Trephina Gorge Campground, John Hayes Rockhole Camp Area and the Bluff. See separate listings for details and contact links for online booking of camp sites.
