West McDonnell Ranges

The scenery in the West McDonnell Ranges is magnificient. We took a drive from Alice Springs to the Ochre Pits, Ellery Creek big Hole, Standley Chasm, and Simpsons Gap.

We missed the bus!

After our 11 kilometre walk, we missed the hop-on / hop-off bus by 10 minutes. With one hour and fifty minutes to wait we chilled out at the Mala carpark rest area, taking in the quite peacefulness.
