Menu
Joker Mine
From the buildings, you can take the steep 150m walk up the hill through the spinifex and Blue Mallee to the Joker Mine. Walk towards the mullock heap on the edge of the gully. Here you will find an adit (horizontal drive), which up until 1905 had yielded .
Joker Gorge
Joker Gorge rewards the walker with some stunning scenery. It is also home to some of Arltunga’s most interesting wildlife. This gorge contains the only source of semipermanent surface water within the reserve, and hence wildlife is more concentrated here. The large rocks, overhangs, and steep cliffs provide ideal habitat for Black-footed Rockwallabies. If you are quiet you will be able to spot them here at any time of the day. You may be able to see droppings of Dingoes and Echidnas. Spinifex Pigeons, Crested Pigeons, Zebra Finches, and Honeyeaters are common here.
