Dalhousie Springs circuit walk

Starting from the end of Dalhousie Springs Day Visitor's access Road, next to the Dalhousie Springs Campground in Witjira NP, this circuit walk leads around the Dalhousie Hot Springs Swimming Hole. These springs are actually a group of more than 60 artesian springs and are highly mineralised. They are a part of Aboriginal tradition and life and are connected to several Dreamtime stories and songs. So after you've done your walk, why not dip into the warm water which has about 40° C year round. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
