Description

High red cliffs, a large waterhole and a sandy creek fringed by gums make this one of the most popular and picturesque walking, camping and picnicking spots in the West MacDonnell Ranges. Much more than just a popular place to take a refreshing dip, Ellery Creek Big Hole is also recognised as an internationally significant geological site. The spectacular waterhole is fed by the West MacDonnell Ranges (Tjoritja) and surrounded by high red cliffs and sandy Ellery Creek. The Dolomite Walk (3 km loop walk - 1.5 hrs) is a great way to take in the facinating geological processes of the site. The walk is along a marked, unsealed path with some steady inclines.

Camping in tents is allowed. Generators are not permitted. Bins are not provided. Take your rubbish with you. Don't attempt with a caravan over 15 foot as sites are tiny
