Set against the backdrop of Mt Sonder and Ghost Gum Ridge, Taarna Valley sits just off Namatjira Drive, approximately 125 km west of Alice Springs on the southern boundary of the Tjoritja West MacDonnell National Park. It's a place of ancient stories and vibrant living culture, a land of ochre cliffs, hidden gorges and clear desert skies.

Visitors will discover:

• Connection to the Larapinta Trail and nearby attractions like Ormiston Gorge, Glen Helen and the Ochre Pits.

• Access to sunrise and sunset lookouts with panoramic views.

• Immersive experiences that bring to life the knowledge Creation stories and cultural practices of the Arrarnta People.

Taarna means “Coolamon” in the Western Arrarnta language — a vessel used to carry what’s precious. Our logo incorporates the Taarna, protectively wrapped around by our serpent Creation Ancestor. Just like the Coolamon, Taarna Valley holds and carries our stories, our knowledge and our future.
