4. Ruby Gap Nature Park

The Ruby Gap Nature Park is cut in two by the Hale River. Glassy red stones line the creek bed and were once mistaken for rubies during the gold rush. Prospectors were disappointed to find they were garnets and zircons and left the site soon after. Today Ruby Gap Nature Park is known for its remoteness. Visit to get a real taste of the rugged wilderness of Central Australia with few others around. The garnets of the riverbed mirror the deep red of the gorge walls at sunset.
