West and East MacDonnell Ranges - The East and
West MacDonnell Ranges: The East and West MacDonnell Ranges
stretch out for hundreds of kilometres on both sides of Alice Springs.
The traditional owners of the Alice Springs area, the Arrernte people,
believe giant caterpillars called the Yeperenye became the Ranges
- they entered this world through one of the dramatic gaps in the
escarpments of the area. The panoramic landscapes of the West MacDonnell
Ranges are easily accessed from Alice Springs. Each of the West
MacDonnell Ranges chasms and gorges has its own unique character
and scenery. Simpsons Gap sports a permanent pool and rock wallabies
live in the gap's rocky ridges. Standley Chasm lights up in fiery
colours reflected by the overhead sun at midday. Picturesque swimming
holes such as Ellery Creek Big Hole, Ormiston Gorge, Glen Helen
Gorge and Redbank Gorge offer refreshing relief on a scorching day.
It is also possible to visit the Ochre Pits that desert Aboriginal
people once used as a quarry for ochre pigments. The East MacDonnell
Ranges, while not as well known as the West MacDonnell Ranges, do
provide beautiful scenery for bush walking, camping and four-wheel-driving.
Visit Arltunga, a ghost town that was the site of a gold rush in
the 1930's. Other places of spectacular natural beauty like Trephina
Gorge, make a trip to the East MacDonnell Ranges
more than worthwhile.
Chambers Pillar - Chambers Pillar Historical Reserve, located
160 kilometres from Alice Springs, is home to Chambers Pillar, a
spectacular solitary column towering 40 metres above the Simpson
Desert plain. Chambers Pillar was formed from sandstone deposited
and worn down over 340 million years. This landmark was very important
in guiding the region�s earliest pioneers and is at its spectacular
best at sunrise and sunset. John MacDouall Stuart, heading north
on his earliest attempt to cross Australia, first recorded the pillar
in April 1860 and named it after James Chambers, one of his South
Australian sponsors. A high clearance four-wheel drive is required
to access Chambers Pillar. Camping is permitted (fees apply), and
there are ranger guided talks available between May and October.
(Some 4wd suppliers won't let their hire vehicles there)
Rainbow Valley - How to get there: The turn-off to the
Reserve is 75 km south from Alice Springs along the Stuart Highway.
From here it is a 22 km stretch east, along an unsealed road which
has some sandy patches. For this reason, access is recommended for
4WD vehicles only. When to visit: The Reserve is accessible all
year round, with the cooler months from April to September being
the most pleasant.
Mt Connor - On the way Mt Connor to be viewed from the
highway in Northern Territory, Central Australia. Mount Conner,
also known as Attila and Artilla and occasionally found as Mount
Connor, is an Australian mountain located in the southwest corner
of the Northern Territory, 75 kilometres (47 mi) southeast of Lake
Amadeus at the border of the vast Curtin Springs cattle station.
