About Mount Remarkable:
The park is located 45km north of Port Pirie. Access is from National Highway One via Mambray Creek.
Alligator Gorge can be reached via a picturesque – but sometimes challenging – drive commencing 1km south of Wilmington on Main North Road. This road is very steep and is unsuitable for caravans, camper trailers and buses. You can walk into the park from the adjacent town of Melrose, which lies at the foot of Mount Remarkable. (Read our Play & Go Melrose camping post here)
Please note: There are no public roads that pass through Mount Remarkable National Park. Horrocks Pass and Port Germein Gorge are the nearest public roads to the park where you can pass over the Flinders Ranges in an east-west direction.
For more information and all enquiries please visit the Natural Resources website.
