Hi Evan,
We live in Alice and it is finally starting to warm up after a very long and wet winter. The countryside is fantastic at the moment. Green everywhere and the
wildflowers are coming out with a vengeance. I believe that all the gorges and waterholes are accessible, some have dirt roads into them but a lot are bitumen. The West Mac's are a great place. If you have the time head all the way past
Glen Helen to Gosse
Bluff. It is now bitumen most of the way and you could complete
the loop back to Alice through
Hermannsburg. The tourist info has lots of ideas for things to do. We are leaving later this morning for
Adelaide otherwise we could have got together to impart some local knowledge. You will have a great time here.

Don't forget the East MacDonnells as
well. The softer colours are very scenic, and
Trephina Gorge is a nice
camp ground for a base.

Hi MH,
Love your photograph.
We stayed a few nights at
Trephina Gorge campground a few years ago and loved the walks and landscape. It is such a beautiful place and it was not as popular with tourists as the West.
We are planning on doing another trip up through the centre on our way to
Darwin next Winter and hope to call back in there.
Regards,
Heather.
