Finke Gorge National Park

Very tough track, but it's worth it. Did it on October 2022. Only saw one car going north beginning of our route from north to south. Make sure you have enough water, spare tire and tools, and satellite phone. There will not be reception and, most likely, no other people if something happens. We got a flat tire when a wooden branch sliced our left front tire middle of the way. Changing the tire was a little challenge due to heat and other problems with the tools we had. It's definitely one of the adventures I will remember my whole life.

We spent 4 days in this beautiful park doing Palm Valley and The Boggy Hole track. Both parts are 4WD only and the BHT became one of our favourite tracks in Australia. It’s very remote, but well maintained, thanks to the rangers. So make sure you have a map and compass or an offline map (we used Maps me) as there’s absolutely no reception and nearly no other vehicles (depending on the season). Make sure you have some recovery gear ( as a minimum we’d recommend a compressor, tyre repair kit, shovel, but would also be good to have recovery boards and make sure to let your tyres down). Keep in mind that the track can change a little bit every year. So follow the pink tapes if you see them. When we drove the BHT, the water crossing part was no problem without a snorkel. Depending on the conditions of the track it can be an easy but also difficult track. The best is to check with the visitor centre or even better with the rangers before you go. You can do the whole track (100kms) in about 8 hours or you take your time , prepare some picnic gear and enjoy the beautiful nature. All in all it was a fantastic experience and as mentioned at the beginning it became one of our favourite 4WD tracks in Australia.

Great for nature lovers, unusual views. Only 4WD. Easy drive to "Kalarranga lookout," climb it, the view is definitely worth it. Then slightly more difficult drive to "Palm Valley." I completed one of the two walks in Palm Valley. After Palm Valley, the off-road driving became too difficult for me

Fantastic wilderness. We saw Palm Valley and also drove the Finke River 4wd track (which is pretty hard core, let you tyres down <20psi and bring recovery gear).

Spectacular four wheel driving and nice camping too. Pretty thick with flies in the evening.

Beautiful scenery, so much to see. 4WD road only and very rocky and stony

Get ready for some serious 4wdriving and enjoy the fabulous scenery!

Great Nationalpark we loved it!!🤩
