Ormiston Gorge is a great place for a cool dip in the natural pool surrounded by towering red cliffs of the gorge. Located within the West MacDonnell Ranges National Park the surrounding area offers an Ormiston Pound Walk, which is a 3-4 hour circuit where you can spot native flora and fauna.

Beautiful spot for a quick swim and spend a lazy few hours admiring the scenery for the bottom of the cliffs to the top of the cliffs

We decided to tick this off our bucket list when we heard they were closing the climb. We had an excellent holiday doing the climb, nearby sunset camel ride with Ayers Rock view, we did the 11km base walk around Ayers Rock, the 7.4km hike through the Valley of the Winds and 2.4km return Walpa Gorge walk at the Olgas (Kata Tjuta). The climb itself was definitely the highlight of the trip and made it worthwhile. We did think it was reckless of parents to take children under 15 on the climb and that 50+ adults were allowed to climb it, as it was a huge challenge for a couple of fit 30 year olds. We'd hiked up mountains before, but this was the biggest challenge with a combination of climbing and hiking, requiring a lot of cardio fitness. We helped out others (by giving them some water) who stupidly decided to climb with kids without sufficient water, and a group of guys in their 20's who stupidly decided to climb with no water. They should keep the climb open but restrict it to reasonably fit (not significantly overweight) 15-50 year olds with ID and make it mandatory that they have at least 3L of water per person. With the climb closed, I can't recommend going there unless you're already driving around Australia. Also probably skip the Field of Lights, as though it is nice, it's not worth the money they're charging.

Located in Watarrka National Park, Kings Canyon known for its 100meter-high sheer cliff walls. There are a variety of walks, the most popular is the Rim Walk which is a 3-4 hour walk with a steep start. Kings Creek Walk is a gentle walk at the base of the Canyon which takes about an hour. Please note that in hot weather where the forecast is to be 36 degrees celsius and above, there are access restrictions to some walks.

We started the day on 1 May 2021 at 4.45 am with our knowledgeable and enthusiastic AAT Kings tour guides, Dylan and Moses, whom collected us from our hotel in Yulara. We traveled to a cattle station for a hearty, friendly breakfast around 7.30 am and then set off to Kings Canyon to undertake either of the shorter, beautiful creek bed walk, classed as Grade 1 - easy walking (1.5 hours return), or the scenic rim walk, Grade 4, 3-4 hours walk. We did the shorter walk, which was beautiful, not rushed and plenty of interesting and informative commentary along the way. Our fellow bus travelers whom did the longer, scenic rim walk, were in awe of the stunning scenery, and confirmed that this was a very enjoyable experience also, for those more experienced walkers. We also had the opportunity before lunch to undertake a helicopter ride with Professional Helicopter Services (extra optional cost), 8, 15 or 35 minutes duration, taking us over Kings Canyon and providing us with unsurpassed views of Kings Canyon. We had a nice lunch at The Thirsty Dingo at Kings Canyon Resort, and then traveled to a lovely spot where on either side of the road, great sights awaited us at Mt Conner. A little further down the road we reached Curtin Springs Station, which was a lovely stop off to a family owned property and then back to our hotel by 5.30 pm. The whole journey provided us with wonderful local stories, that provided us with a greater understanding of the whole area. We had many laughs on the bus, with Moses and Dylan being wonderful ambassadors for the region. Very new, comfortable and modern bus. We would highly recommend. Julie and Robert, Brisbane, Queensland.

Uluru can be expensive but experience is what matters. We had the most amazing time by walking and taking helicopter tours to see every angel of this magnificent natures creations. We felt the power of the natives and the love towards the amazing native land. Wish cultural activities were open. But overall a place to embrace HOME.

A very insightful tour of the hardships and lonelyness of this posting in the 1800's. The supplies came every six months by camel train. Vegies were grown on sight as well as meat.

Kings Creek Station has changed hands just after Covid started. The new site managers David and Julie started working here on the 18th July 2020, they have got the station going opening up to the public on the 1st September 2020. When we arrived, Julie has a pleasant bubbly nature, which was received well. The station has a cafe which servers great meals, The burgers are great and the camel burgers are big, all meals are great serves, the Chef makes great wedges, and onion rings, and steaks. Coffee is good as well. All staff are great. The pool was being filled while we were there, but wasn't able to be used when we were there, lots of sanitizing spray available, amenities are good, plenty of hot water, a mixture of accommodation is available. Caravan sites are mostly level and there is a mixture of powered and unpowered. We could hear the dingos howling at night, the camels are fed at 3.00pm and Bruce the donkey who thinks he is a camel gets in on the act. Fees are average for this area at $50.00 per night for a couple with power and water, single travellers are charged as a single. Fuel is available also. Wine and Beer and Souvenirs are available for guests to purchase. A great spot to explore the Kings Canyon area.
