Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary

Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary 

North of Alice, up the Tanami Road and just past Tilmouth Well is the turn off to Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary - another 2 hrs drive to this beautiful piece of paradise.

Originally a cattle station, purchased in 2000 as a bird sanctuary, now a total wildlife sanctuary with a great camping area, short walks, long drives to the various landform and vegetation areas.







Lots of sand dunes, rocky ranges, spinifex, mulga scrub, salt lake Lake Bennett... and no one else around for miles!

Saw dingoes, camels, bustards, zebra finches, hawks and pesky butcher birds around the camping area, and all in their natural environment.

Beautiful sunrise and sunsets a bonus.
