Tjenya Falls Campground

Remote and basic. The Tabletop Track passes through savanna woodland, forest, scenic pools and rough rocky country, and this section is firmly on the open, exposed side of that mix. Camping is on a plateau with big sky and little shade, and the wider track is known for very light foot traffic, so nights here can be genuinely quiet. Water monitors, rock wallabies, pythons, native birds and dingoes are all part of the wider Tabletop Range, though nothing is guaranteed at any one campsite.

The full Tabletop Track circuit is 39 to 46 km and usually takes 2 to 4 days, with access points at Florence Falls, Wangi Falls and Walker Creek. Official route sections are Florence Falls to Wangi Falls 20 km, Wangi Falls to Walker Creek 20.2 km, and Walker Creek to Florence Falls 13.3 km. Tjenya breaks up the long southern leg: roughly 11.4 km from the southern campground via Wangi Creek, and about 11.5 km onwards to Walker Creek. By the shortest route it sits around 7 km from Wangi Falls.

The Tabletop Track is grade 4 and can be hard-going, hot and exposed, with steep sections. Carry at least 2 litres of water per person per day, plus food, navigation, first aid, cooking gear, sun and insect protection, and sleeping equipment. Some areas have limited water, and all water must be treated before drinking, so build your plan around what you can carry rather than what you hope to find. The creek near the falls is the local water source, but it should not be counted on as reliable. Reception is poor or absent in places, so an emergency communication device is recommended.

• Small rocky pools nearby and a quiet wilderness camp setting are the draw.
• The cost is a long, hot walk with limited water, no verified comforts, and a committing multi-day route in and out.
