EXPLORING
BRACHINA GORGE
For a full-day 4WD or AWD tour, pick up
a copy of the Brachina Gorge Geological
Trail at Wilpena. Four kilometres up the
main road is a turn-off to Brachina and
Bunyeroo; ignore this as it is better to
return this way.
Continue north-west, stopping to take in
Hucks Lookout and Stockes Hill Lookout.
It is another 6km to the start of the actual
Brachina Gorge Geological Trail, where
you’ll find an information bay. From here
on, you are moving forward in geological
time with postings at numerous locations
explaining the astonishing rock formations.
Waterhole at Brachina.
The trail continues for 25km, crossing
Brachina Creek several times, and with a

More than anything, be sure to take in that
scenery wrapping around you like a panoramic
landscape painting. The trail ends at the
