Corroboree Rock Conservation Reserve

Corroboree Rock in the East MacDonnell Ranges east of Alice Springs, a dolomite formation and indigenous site sacred to the Arrente people. East MacDonnell Ranges, Northern Territory, Australia.

Corroboree Rock, 51km from Alice Springs, is one of many strangely shaped dolomite outcrops scattered over the valley floor. Despite the name, it's doubtful the rock was ever used as a corroboree area, but it is associated with the Perentie Dreaming trail. The perentie lizard, Australia's largest, grows in excess of 2.5m and takes refuge within the area's rock falls. There's a short walking track (15 minutes) around the rock.

The car park is 1km along a sealed road off the Ross Hwy.
