Glen Helen Gorge To Alice Springs

Day 16 – 9^th May 2010

Glen Helen Gorge To Alice Springs

Happy Mother’s Day Jan and Marg.

Had a brief look at Glen Helen Gorge this morn but unfortunately, couldn’t get far because still too much water and too cold to swim! Rob had electrical repairs to do. Next stop Ormiston Gorge, which could be the pick of them. A climb up to the lookout and then a walk down into the gorge. The views of the gorge were so spectacular. Once down into the gorge we had to take to the water to complete the walk back to the car. Hope the pics do it justice but I doubt it. We lunched at Stanley Chasm and walked up the creek bed to the chasm. Once again – spectacular.

From there we drove to Alice Springs. Stopped at Flynn’s grave just outside Alice.  He was quite a man.

Booked into the MacDonnell Range Caravan Park and dusted ourselves off, did some washing and showering and dolled ourselves up to go out to dinner at a classy Indian restaurant. Met up with Laura, Claudia’s cousin, who works at the Casino in Alice. Lovely dinner – yummy.
