Gurrandalng Walk is a 2km, grade 3 Return hike located in Keep River National Park Northern Territory. The hike should take approximately 1hrs to complete.
Summary
This small park contains a diversity of landscapes and visitors can explore sandstone ridges and ‘Bungle Bungle-like’ formations from the campgrounds. The two kilometre Gurrandalng walk weaves through sandstone and presents one magnificent view after the next. Jarnem offers a long loop walk that can be split into two shorter return walks, including the Jarnem Lookout Walk that is particularly stunning in the soft light of early morning and late afternoon.
The park falls within Aboriginal lands of the Miriwoong and Gadgerong people. Nganalam Art Site shows some of the rock art characteristic of the area while Ginger’s Hill and Jinumum reveal other aspects of traditional Aboriginal culture. The unsealed road in Keep River National Park may be corrugated and it may also be inaccessible at times due to flooding between November and April.
