South of Alice Springs, including Chambers Pillar, Rainbow Valley, Owen Springs and Henbury Meteor Craters.

Leaving Alice Springs via the Old South Road (Finke Road), we followed the alignment of the Old Ghan Railway. A section of the line has been retained to MacDonnell Siding, and a tourist train takes visitors along this eight kilometre stretch of line.

Petroglyphs at Ewaninga
Petroglyphs at Ewaninga
The small Aboriginal petroglyph site at Ewaninga almost 40 kilometres south of Alice Springs consists of a group of sandstone rocks, many with fine etchings, alongside a claypan. When it rained, the claypan would have been a source of water and food when animals came to drink, so Ewaninga was a special place to the Arrernte people.

Come with us on our journey to Chambers Pillar, Rainbow Valley, Owen Springs and Henbury Meteor Craters.
