Frequently Asked Questions

What's the absolute best time of year to visit The Crevice for wildlife spotting in Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park?

We love the shoulder seasons, particularly spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May). During these times, the temperatures are wonderfully mild, making for comfortable exploration, and we've consistently found the wildlife to be most active. You'll see more kangaroos, emus, and diverse birdlife then.

Beyond the standard camp activities, what unique experiences does The Crevice offer that we shouldn't miss?

While the camping itself is fantastic, we highly recommend their guided night walks. The desert truly comes alive after dark, and with an expert guide, you'll discover nocturnal creatures you'd never see otherwise. It's an unforgettable sensory experience, hearing the sounds and feeling the cool night air.

We're concerned about safety in a remote Australian setting. What should we know about safety at The Crevice and in the park?

The Crevice is incredibly well run, and safety is clearly a priority. We felt very secure during our stay. The main things to be aware of are the usual Australian elements: sun protection is crucial, stay hydrated, and be mindful of your surroundings when walking, especially at dawn and dusk when kangaroos are most active.

Can you give us a realistic idea of the costs involved for a stay at The Crevice, including activities?

While it's not a budget backpacker option, we found The Crevice offers excellent value for the experience. Expect mid-range pricing for the accommodation and meals. Most of the core camp activities are included, but specialized guided walks or longer excursions will incur additional fees, which are clearly outlined.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see right around the camp itself, not just within the national park?

We were delighted by the wildlife encounters right at our doorstep. Expect to see plenty of kangaroos and wallabies grazing nearby, especially in the early mornings and late afternoons. Birdlife is abundant too, with various parrots and cockatoos often visiting the camp. It’s a constant, gentle reminder of the wild beauty surrounding you.
