    Sturt Gorge Recreation Park

    Sturt Gorge Recreation Park is internationally recognised as an area of geological significance. In 1946, Australia's Antarctic explorer, the geologist Sir Douglas Mawson, wrote to the owner of the gorge: 'The occurrence of an extremely ancient glacial deposit on your land makes this locality of outstanding interest to scientists'. The park also protects a wide variety of habitats which can be explored via several walking trails.
