Iytwelepenty / Davenport Range National Park

1

Iytwelepenty / Davenport Range, or Davenport Ranges National Park (Iytwellepenty), previously the Davenport Murchison National Park, is a national park in the Northern Territory of Australia about 1033 km south-east of the territorial capital of Darwin, occupying around 1,120 km2s of the Davenport Range. It lies within the Davenport Murchison Ranges bioregion, an area of 58,050 km2, with a climate ranging from semiarid to subtropical. The mountains were caused by a tectonic event hundreds of millions of years ago, but recent images from space have shown that erosion occurred that exposed the ridges and valleys only around 100 million years ago. Amelia Creek crater, an ancient eroded impact crater lies within the Davenport Range in the area.
