Redbank Gorge

Highlights

Redbank Gorge, nestled at the base of Mt Sonder, is a cool escape with its icy waterholes and striking red cliffs. Walk along the sandy creek bed to the gorge, where you can swim in the clear water and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Look out for unique animals and plants, including some that are hard to find anywhere else!

Fun fact: Redbank Gorge is part of the famous Larapinta Trail and is a great place to stop for a rest or a swim.

Adult Supervision Recommended

The water is very cold and deep, so swimming here is best done with an adult around.
