Davenport Range National Park

The Davenport Range National Park is an important refuge for fauna, especially water birds due to an extensive network of waterholes. At least 7 species of fish are present in the many permanent waterholes which are isolated from any other river system.

The scenic Davenport Ranges have a quiet beauty making them a relaxing and attractive place for tourists and the local residents from Tennant Creek and Alice Springs wishing to get away from it all, a high clearance four wheel drive is essential.

Artefacts relating to earlier occupancy remain and 'Dreamtime' or creation stories persist among Aboriginal people who retain traditional associations with the land. The area was settled at the turn of the century and has a diverse history.
