What to expect
You'll be collected and driven through the East MacDonnell Ranges in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. The route takes in several gorges and Aboriginal art locations, with stops at each so you can walk, look, and photograph. The landscape is arid and sculptural—rusty ridges, deep chasms, sparse vegetation. Most of the five hours involves driving between sites; walks are short and undemanding. Bring a camera and sunscreen. The driver provides context about the geology and Indigenous heritage as you travel.
