Arltunga Historical Reserve
Established in 1887, Arltunga was Central Australia’s first town and home to 300 people at the height of the goldrush. Explore the Government Battery, Cyanide Works, Old Police Station, historical mine-sites and heritage homes, along with a visitor’s centre where you may meet and chat with the Ranger.
Ruby Gorge Nature Park
Ruby Gorge is a remote, natural wilderness and is one of the NT’s most rewarding experiences. A further walk into Glenn Annie Gorge is a must. Beautiful and rugged, the awesome terrain is not to be underestimated, and the unmarked trails are only for experienced walkers.
