Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at Mount Augustus National Park, where the ancient landscape beckons explorers with its Aboriginal rock engravings and diverse wildlife.

While camping facilities are not mentioned, the park offers a plethora of activities ranging from bushwalking to canoeing, ensuring a memorable experience for every visitor.

When to go
