EAST MACDONNELL RANGES AND ALICE SPRINGS

Seeing as the town was closed for the day we headed into the East MacDonnell ranges towards Trephina Gorge via a few other waterholes for two nights. Trephina gorge was quiet and the surrounding country beautiful to walk through. The waterhole wasn’t as inviting but it was a waterhole nonetheless! We also walked along a track (that we couldn’t drive on due to our car lacking high clearance) to another waterhole where Jamie clambered through the gorge to see a few more hidden waterholes behind. It was a quiet place to be for the couple of days that we were there.

We headed back into Alice on Tuesday for haircuts, a wash and a movie. That night we tried to fall asleep to the sounds of fighting in the Todd River – not the nicest noise to hear but unfortunately that seems to be how it is in Alice – hopefully things can change soon.
