点评:After collecting the Campervan, we ventured to Simpsons Gap, which is the closest of the gorges to Alice Springs. Here you can hike to Rock Wallaby habitats.
Afterwards, our afternoon drive was very scenic ending with the Ellery Creek swim hole Campground, following the sealed Northern Road into the Western MacDonnell Ranges.
The swim hole is very inviting, but the water is cool. It is recommended to do the Dolomite Walk, as you see multiple examples of the colourful twisted formations along the way, and a very scenic lookout.
Next day was a short 50 Km drive to the Ormiston Gorge Campground. Its facilities are more extensive than Ellery Creek, with a café (with WIFI), shower block, BBQ’s complete with night lights and USB Ports.
The hike to the Ghost Gum Ridge is very spectacular, but an afternoon down by the ponds is equally relaxing. Neither Ellery Creek or Ormiston offer powered sites.
翻译:取了露营车后,我们前往辛普森峡谷,这是距离爱丽丝泉最近的峡谷。在这里,您可以徒步前往岩袋鼠的栖息地。
之后,我们下午的车程风景优美,最终抵达埃勒里溪游泳水潭营地,沿着铺满沥青的北路进入西麦克唐奈尔山脉。
游泳水潭非常诱人,但水温偏凉。建议您尝试白云石步道,因为沿途可以看到各种色彩斑斓的扭曲岩层,以及一个风景优美的观景台。
第二天,我们驱车短短50公里到达奥米斯顿峡谷营地。那里的设施比埃勒里溪营地更齐全,有咖啡馆(提供无线网络)、淋浴间、带夜灯和USB接口的烧烤炉。
徒步前往幽灵胶岭的路途风景如画,但在池塘边度过一个下午也同样令人放松。埃勒里溪和奥米斯顿都没有供电营地。
