    I don't find the gorge particularly spectacular. It takes 20 minutes for a round trip. The path is easy, so it's quite busy. It's suitable for someone who has difficulty walking, can't walk for long periods, or wants to see a gorge quickly. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who wants deep gorge hikes in a quiet setting.

    An oasis in the desert.Very nice creek and a short walk to reach it.If you are attentive you will be lucky to see some rocks Wallabies.We saw few of them,they are very small (50cm ish) and very good to play hide & seek ? Bring a camera with a Zoom or binoculars if you have one.K?

    Nice short walk (about 5 minutes easy) to Gap. Rocks and water hole gave great photos. Unfortunately many flies but here are everywhere;)

    Nice spot. We stayed for a while and just as we were about to leave, we saw 2 rock wallabies coming down. They’re really tiny and really difficult to spot when there not jumping. Beware: a lot of flies!

    One of the highlights of my short trip out of Alice. The sight of rock wallabies was amazing.
