Ruby Gap Nature Park is a remote park located on the far eastern edge of the East MacDonnell Ranges. Located 150 kilometres from Alice Springs, it was the site of Central Australia’s first mining rush in 1886 after ‘rubies’ were found in the riverbed.

Today, Ruby Gap is a popular place for camping and bushwalking. Much of the terrain is extremely rugged and is only suitable for the experienced and well prepared walker. Follow the riverbed and tracks upstream to Glen Annie Gorge.
