30 Sep - Central Australia - West Macdonnell ranges

Nice week visiting the West MacDonnell ranges, with some great sites (and not so great ones, typically the ones with the tourist busses)

Simpsons Gap - Nice in between busses



Stantley's chasm - Single file of people from the continous stream of busses - didn't even bother with a picture but climbed to the very top and the view was excellent.


Elliry Big Hole - very nice, but we moved on



Orminston Gorge - Excellent place, great walks and swimming hole, and far enough from Alice to avoid the crowds. Great camping site also.

Orminston Gorge


Orminston pound, very similar to Wilpena pound in the Finder's ranges, but smaller

Gorge from the pound end
Glen Helen Gorge -  Don't bother



Serpentine Gorge - another nice spot with lookout walk



Redbank Gorge - Beautiful little place with freezing cold water hole. Great camp site but overun by bees, luckly not agressive but uncomfortable.
