Finke 4WD Route - North Gate Traditional Cache

The Finke Gorge National Park is located 120km West of Alice Springs.  The Finke River 4WD route is a favourite for us, it has lots of driving variety from sand, rocks, clay pans and fords if your lucky enough to be at the right time if the year. The scenery is ever changing, taking you between red cliffs of gorges to plains of wildflowers you will be amazed as you zigzag along, it is slow going.

The area has been of great importance to the Aboriginal people for thousands of years, providing a travel and trade route through the region.  Ernest Giles was the first European explorer to navigate this section of the Finke River in 1872.
