100 Best Views In Australia #15 Ormiston Gorge, NT

This shot of Ormiston Gorge was taken from the banks of the creek, a very short walk from the car park. The visitor centre is about 8km from the Ormiston Gorge turn-off on Namatjira Drive, and although roads are sealed, they can become impassable after heavy rain. However, the best way to see the gorge is to walk one of the many trails available, ranging from the five minute Waterhole Walk, which has wheelchair access to the end of the paved path, to the Ormiston Pound Walk, which takes up to four hours to complete. For keen hikers, the Larapinta Trail also passes through the area, but it is a challenging long-distance walk that requires careful preparation.
