9/12 - Macdenell Range

After a long day of different arrangements in Alice Springs, we drove to Macdenell Range National Park, it's even divided to East and West.

West Range:
We think that the jewel in the crown of this National park is a walking trek which called: "Omritson Gorge - Pound walk", 7.5 km track, the thing we liked the most in it was the different verity of views which made it very unique and worth seeing. The first 1.5 km we climbed on a mountain, we decent into the pound, it was all green, the flowers were flourishing and the sky were light blue as they can only be in Australia, at the entrance to the deep gorge we walked on several types of land, purple, black and yellow rocks, sometimes sea sand appeared during the walk.
This route was not an easy walking one, but have no mistake, we had a wonderful time doing it.





East Range:
Well, the east range is much less tourist attractive, most of the sites there are "easy going" (short tracks of 20 min. walk), the Aboriginal's painting were nice but not more than that.



Only one of them was different - "Traphina gorge" it was called. We did several hikes wherever we could on our 2WD van (there are much more options for 4WD groupies).



Have fun,
Efrat & Yoni.
