Embark on an unforgettable journey through the West MacDonnell Ranges, where natural beauty and rich cultural heritage come together.
Our adventure begins at Simpsons Gap, a sacred site featuring a permanent waterhole and the chance to spot wildlife, including rock wallabies. Learn about its deep Aboriginal cultural significance and Dreamtime stories.
Next, we visit Standley Chasm (Angkerle Atwatye), a dramatic 80-metre-high gorge where towering red rock walls glow in the sunlight. We then continue to Ellery Creek Big Hole (Udepata), a stunning waterhole framed by cliffs and sandy banks. Enjoy a refreshing swim or relax while a picnic lunch is served in this tranquil setting.
Our journey continues to the Ochre Pits, a vibrant and culturally significant site used for thousands of years by Aboriginal people for art and ceremony. The striking colours offer a unique glimpse into the region's heritage.
Finally, explore Ormiston Gorge, where towering red cliffs and scenic walking trails showcase the raw beauty of the landscape. After a day of exploration, we return to Alice Springs with lasting memories of the West MacDonnell Ranges.
