The Iytwelepenty / Davenport Ranges National Park overlays a rich living cultural landscape of the Alyawarr, Wakaya, Kaytete and Warumungu traditional owners.

It is also a wonderfully remote visitor experience for adventurous four-wheel drivers wanting to see the real Territory.

Separated from other river systems, the park also provides an important refuge for waterbirds found in desert country and seven species of fish.

The park has European heritage sites, including relics from early mining and pastoral enterprises that occurred in the area.

A great place for swimming is Old Police Station Waterhole.

It is best to swim in during summer as the water becomes very cold during winter months.

Be careful of submerged logs and rocks. Do not jump or dive into the water.

This ecologically significant area marks the northern-most range of some southern wildlife species and the southern-most range of several northern species.
