Swap the bright city lights for bright orange chasm walls 🤩 @standleychasm_angkerleatwatye is a @VisitCentralAus must-see; offering a multitude of breathtaking scenes, Aboriginal cultural tours and walking trails . Our tip? Visit at midday when the sun overhead lights up the chasm walls! Angkerle Atwatye, meaning “Gap of Water”, is the traditional name for #StandleyChasm, only a 40 minute drive west of #AliceSprings. It's one of the many spectacular nature stops in the West MacDonnell Ranges - a region perfect for exploring over a couple of days! 🚗 📸: @wildbonde #NTaustralia #SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #roadtripaustralia #outbackaustralia #outback #NorthernTerritory

Can you see the Rock Wallaby behind me? (scroll to the last slide) 🪨 📍 Rungutjirpa // Simpsons Gap in the West MacDonnell Ranges near Alice Springs This massive rock formation is deeply significant for the Arrernte, the local Aboriginal people For Australia’s Aboriginal People, their Country - meaning their land/home/Australia - is deeply connected to their identity and spirit. The land isn’t just a physical place, it’s a living entity. It holds their history, culture, and spirituality… And rock formations like this Rock Wallaby play a major role in passing knowledge and traditions down through generations through story

I’ve read plenty of publications describe these stories as “Dreamtime,” but they are seen by Aboriginal People as true events. Through these stories, they keep their culture alive, and help younger generations understand their roots, the laws of the land, and their responsibilities towards it

I think that’s pretty darn beautiful! . . . . . . . . #arrerntecountry #aboriginal #aboriginalaustralia #northernterritory #northernterritoryaustralia #northernterritorytourism #visitnt #visitaustralia #visitaustralia🇦🇺 #travelphotography #rockformation #travelwriter

↟Ormiston Gorge - West MacDonnell Ranges NT ᨒThe waterhole is only 500m from the entry. We started to do the 8km loop but we got lost and turned around 2km in. So we did the Ghost Gum loop which was a 2.5km loop climb up the gorge and then back down and you had to cross through the freezing cold water (a few times) to get back round. Freezing as in the water actually hurt! ____________________________________________ #ormistongorge #westmacdonnellranges #westmacdonnellnationalpark #nationalpark #gorge #waterhole #walk #hiking #landscape #landscapephotography #northernterritory #australia #travelphotography

📍Ormiston Gorge, Macdonnell ranges, NT Love these memories 🥰 Adam and Mila painting the most beautiful landscape whilst Tommy was happy observing his surroundings, eating, getting dirty, climbing, poking at my face whilst I laid down on the sand and read my book.

Standley Chasm, such a beautiful place. Can only imagine how amazing it is at midday but glad we missed the crowds & almost had the place to ourselves. “Known traditionally as Angkerle Atwatye, meaning “Gap of Water”, Standley Chasm is a ~3-metre-wide, 80-metre-high gorge amongst the West MacDonnell Ranges, NT”. Things to note: -A beautiful & easy (grade 1) short walk, 2.4km round trip, to the chasm. -This is not covered in your NT park pass as it is private land. An additional entry fee is payable, this was cost us $36 for 2ad/2ch -There are camp sites available but there are much nicer sites around in the West Mac ranges, however, great if you need amenities. -kiosk & gift shop, recommend their hot chips 👍 We really enjoyed it & glad we visited. #ntaustralia #stanleychasm #redcentre

One of our favourite spots in the West Macdonnell Ranges - Ellery Creek Big Hole. There is a short loop hike here that is a great way to see the mountains. We braved the icy water for a swim after our walk, it is cold enough to take your breath away 🥶 . . #australia #vanlife #vanlifemovement #vanlifer #vanlifeaustralia #vanlifeexplorers #travel #travelphotography #biglap #biglapofoz #biglapaustralia #lapofaustralia #hiking #adventure

A few shots from red bank gorge. A reasonably easy walk in with some rock hopping towards the end but worth the effort once again #redbankgorge #westmacdonnellranges #explorent #exploreaustralia #outback #outbackaustralia #redcentre #travel #adventure #findyourselfoutside #roadtrip #northernterritory

West MacDonnell Ranges ✅💥 Whilst we were on our way to see the famous Uluru we detoured through this incredible range. We were able to add to our geography knowledge as this range was once under the earths surface and through pressure these rock formations were formed! We loved wondering around them, much more than we were expecting. I guess the beauty of travel is that you never know what you'll find around the next corner. #tickingtheboxes #redcentre #travellingaustralia #centralaustralia #westmacdonnellranges #sunnydays #rockformation #simpsonsgap #lappingaustralia #uluru #travel #alwayssomethingnew #sandstone #granite #light

The towering sandstone walls of Yapalpe | Glen Helen Gorge are pure magic ✨ The gorge is located 132 kilometres from #AliceSprings, in the western reaches of the #WestMacDonnellRanges. The area includes views of Mount Sonder, one of the highest points in @visitcentralaus, which changes colours with the light ✨ Thanks for tagging #NTaustralia, @wildroadwanderers. #SeeAustralia #holidayherethisyear #RedCentreNT
