Horrocks Pass

Horrocks Pass is a mountain pass in the southern Flinders Ranges of South Australia, located about 6 kilometres west of Wilmington in the localities of Nectar Brook and Woolundunga.

The pass was discovered and named after explorer John Horrocks, who travelled through the area in August 1846. A lookout and monument commemorating Horrocks and his party stands at the top of the pass, dedicated in 1946.

The bush camp at Horrocks Pass sits along Horrocks Pass Road and is suitable for caravans. Campers report generous space, fire pits, and impressive sunset views.

Nearby, Hancocks Lookout offers a free camping area with sweeping western vistas across Spencer Gulf, Whyalla, Mount Laura, the Middleback Ranges, and Dutchmans Stern Range.
