Travel in Australia | From Alice Springs to West MacDonnell

National parks in central Australia are all unique, and you can enjoy a variety of magnificent scenery in one trip! There is a very niche attraction more than 100 km from Alice Springs, which is the West MacDonnell National Park. We learned about this place from a local guide when we were visiting Uluru National Park, and immediately arranged a day trip! West MacDonnell National Park is also a desert oasis, but it is different from the Kata Tjuta Valley of the Winds Walk and Kings Canyon, or rather, it is more worth visiting. Only after visiting did we realize that a desert oasis can be so beautiful! Mainly because there is more water here, and places with water are more spiritual. I think the most beautiful part of the West MacDonnell Ranges is Ormiston Gorge, where the water is clear and the flora and fauna are rich, making it very scenic! The midday sun shines on the water, sparkling and dazzling. The rocks here are also rich in color, in addition to yellow, orange, and brown, there are also dark purple and dark brown. There are even some black rocks, along with green plants, waterfowl, and stream fish, making it a paradise. If you are lucky, you may even see wild lizards crossing between the rocks.

Lunch is a cold meal, mainly sandwiches, bread, and salad, and hot drinks are also provided. After the trip, the driver will drop off the tourists at the hotel in turn. 🔸Because this national park is particularly large, if you are not familiar with the local road conditions, you may take the wrong road or get lost, so be sure to drive carefully. If you drive to the national park, you can have coffee and snacks at Stanley Chasm, and have lunch at Ormiston Gorge, as there are no restaurants near other attractions. 🔸There are toilets 🚻 at all six attractions in the national park.
