Day 15 – 8th May 2010
Glen Helen To Glen Helen
Left camp set up and went East to explore several of the gorges of the West Macdonnell Ranges. First to Ellery Creek Big Hole. Plenty of water in the hole. Had to blaze a trail that was overgrown from the wet and climbed up the escarpment to see views out over the ranges. Next, to Serpentine Gorge where we climbed to the lookout for more spectacular scenery of the gorge that wound it’s way through the rock. The climb was a real heart starter.
The Ochre Pits were very interesting with lots of history of Aboriginal women and ceremonial painting. The colours in the rock were really beautiful.
Back to camp and a delicious dinner cooked on the fire. Stars were brilliant again. The night was very cold.
