2 Overview
Palm Valley Outback Safari by 4WD Full Day Tour Departs from Alice Springs
Palm Valley
West of Alice Springs is the Finke Gorge National Park and the outback oasis of Palm Valley. Accessible only by 4WD from Hermannsburg via the dry bed of the Finke River, this lush valley is the only place in Central Australia where red cabbage palms can survive.
The Finke River is believed to be one of the oldest rivers in the world dating back 350 million years. Palm Creek, which flows into the Finke River, is usually dry in this area but there are small pockets of spring-fed pools that ensure the survival of unique flora. The shady red cabbage palms at the base of the valley's gorge are all that's left of a time millions of years ago when Central Australia was a lush tropical forest.
As well as the towering palms, you'll see spectacular rock formations, native river red gum trees and cool rock pools.
Highlights
- You'll arrive at the best time of the day to see the Amphitheatre. Also known as Kalaranga, this group of red sandstone formations is particularly striking as the early morning sun leaves a glow of amazing light and colour across the landscape
- Arrive in the oasis of Palm Valley, the only area in Central Australia where red cabbage palms survive
- From your 4WD and on foot, you'll be amazed by the enormous rock formations, pinnacles, gorges and endless palm trees
- Enjoy a picnic lunch in Finke Gorge National Park and hear about the park's cultural significance for the Arrernte people
- Visit Hermannsburg Aboriginal Community, the birthplace of artist Albert Namatjira. View amazing artworks at the gallery and explore the historic buildings
