Birthday Waterhole is a semi-permanent pool on the Hugh River in the Tjoritja/West MacDonnell National Park. It’s also an access point for Sections 4 and 5 of the 231 kilometre Larapinta Trail that extends from Alice Springs to Mt Sonder.

Large River Red Gums fringe Birthday Waterhole, which is an important ecological site. Waterbirds are attracted to the waterhole because of its large populations of desert rainbowfish, frogs and aquatic invertebrates.
