Birthday Waterhole is the Trailhead for Sections 4 and 5 of the Larapinta Trail. Large River Red Gums fringe Birthday Waterhole, this semi permanent river pool is an important ecological site that differs from the minor springs and seepages such as Mintbush Spring. Waterbirds are attracted to the waterhole due to the large numbers of Desert rainbow fish, frogs and aquatic invertebrates which inhabit it. Camping is permitted and access is by high clearance four-wheel drive only. Section 4 and 5 of the Larapinta Trail are graded as very hard - a rugged track or marked route with frequent steep and long climbs and descents, suitable for fit people with extensive previous bushwalking experience. |
