The Davenport Ranges National Park is a hidden gem southeast of Tennant Creek, offering vast wilderness, stunning landscapes, and unique wildlife. The highlight of the park is the Old Police Station Waterhole—a refreshing swim in the rugged beauty of the outback, just be mindful of submerged hazards. The 4WD tracks provide opportunities for wildlife spotting and photography. Be sure to carry sufficient water, fuel, and supplies, as facilities are limited.

If you’re enjoying your time and looking to extend your stay, book a basic campsite in advance. Due to the remote location, phone service may not exist, but the canopy of stars will more than make up for it. As you venture into this pristine wilderness, practice responsible camping and leave no trace. Protect the delicate ecosystem by avoiding disturbing wildlife and adhering to park regulations.
