Your journey begins with a visit to Anzac Hill, where you'll enjoy breathtaking views over Alice Springs and the surrounding MacDonnell Ranges. This spot is a tribute to those who served in Australia’s defense forces, and it offers a perfect vantage point for photographing the town below, set against the dramatic outback landscape.
Your next stop will be at Flynn’s Grave Memorial, the resting place of Reverend Flynn, the founder of the Royal Flying Doctor Service. We stopped to relax, enjoy the changing colours of the magnificent West MacDonnell Ranges, and get some photos.
Simpson Gap features the towering cliffs of Simpsons Range, a permanent waterhole, and opportunities to spot resident wildlife and ancient Red River Gums with a taste of Central Australia. Simpsons Gap is a significant site to the local Arrernte Aboriginal people and was the mythological home of giant goanna ancestors. We will take you on a short, easy walk alongside a picturesque dry creek bed that leads to a dramatic gap in the MacDonnell Ranges and a waterhole rich in native wildlife, flora, and geology. Sometimes, you may even spot Black-footed Rock-wallabies along the walking track into the rocky slopes gap.
