Stretching 400km, the West MacDonnell Ranges is one of Central Australia's natural treasures. Marvel at the superb scenery, such as the coloured walls of Angkerie (Standley Chasm).
Travel west from Alice Springs following the spectacular West MacDonnell Ranges. Pass the John Flynn Memorial (founder of the Royal Flying Doctor Service). Stop at Simpsons Gap with its lovely river red gum scenery. Continue on to Angkerle (Standley Chasm). Walk into the Chasm along the stony watercourse lined with cycads, ghost gums, acacias and cypress pines.
Travel to Ellery Creek Big Hole, before arriving at Ormiston Gorge. Time at leisure at this picturesque waterhole (opportunity for a swim in the summer months) followed by a delicious picnic lunch.
Then in the afternoon, visit the Alice Springs Desert Park. This superb park showcases the unique Australian wildlife of the Red Centre. See diverse and spectacular landscapes and learn about the adaptations of hundreds of species of desert flora and fauna.
