West MacDonnell Ranges N.P. - Ormiston Gorge
Commentaires The West Macs :
Ormiston Gorge offers visitors all the spectacular geology and landforms of the MacDonnell Ranges.
The rugged scenery of the the Gorge is complemented by a near-permanent water hole.
The water and the shelter of the rocks attract an interesting variety of native fauna and flora,
including a number of relict plant species.
The recent rediscoveries of the Long-tailed Dunnart and the Central Rock Rat in the Ormiston Gorge vicinity
demonstrate what an important role the Park plays as a fauna refuge.
Ormiston Gorge is also home to a major ranger station.
There are wonderful opportunities to swim here plus there are full tourist facilities including an information centre.
