The West Macdonnell Ranges continues to dazzle and amaze, and we are in no rush to leave.
Redbank Gorge lies at the end of a rocky 2km walk. Its water is extremely cold all year round and is a haven to small fish which hover near the surface of the water where it’s warmest.
Beach-white sand and pumice-like rocks attract lizards, while little ponds of water are unusually green and bronze caused by a proliferation of various algaes.
The gorge itself is very narrow and it’s said the best way to traverse it is with a rubber tyre inner, or foam noodle, in tow.
