The Gorgeous Gorge!

We have spent two nights camping at Ormiston Gorge and soaking in the pure gorgeousness of it all.
Ananda camped with us in her swag and together we all swam, weaved with native grasses, cooked yummy food and read our books in the share of a giant river redgum.

The boys had a great time whittling spears out of mulga branches, entwining them with string and practicing their aim into the jewel like sand.

We went spotlighting with the rangers at night time and managed to catch a pack of dingos out hunting a black footed rock wallaby! A surreal and somewhat haunting experience, especially when they howl.... dingos howling conjure up otherworldly feelings of mystery, history and the magic if the wild. I love them.

Notice Ananda's 'dingo whacking sticks' on either side of her swag!!!
On the way back to Alice we stopped for a swim at Ellory Creek big hole after a strong recommendation from a fellow camper at Ormiston. It didn't disappoint.
Sheer red rock in disheveled patterns resulting from a tremendous upheaval in the earths crust millions of years ago. Swimming through a gorge in chilly water in a hot day. Watching your eldest son climb to a precarious spot and give you a wave....the West Macdonnell ranges are truly one of the glories of this country.
