Ormiston Gorge NT by Kylie Daniel Although I've not physically been there, this gorge is stunning in it's geological formation and breathtaking scenery. I've recreated this abstract primarily from photos. This is my abstract interpretation of it. Ormiston Gorge showcases the spectacular geology and landforms of the MacDonnell Ranges. The Gorge has a permanent waterhole, estimated to be up to 14m deep at its southern end. This incredible gorge on the Red Centre Way just west of Alice Springs is spectacular to say the least. The towering red walls of the ranges give way to an almost-permanent waterhole at the sandy bottom, which is often called Central Australia’s “beach”. The Ormiston Gorge Waterhole is the semi-permanent water you can find at Ormiston Gorge. The water is cold all year round, so it’s very refreshing on a hot day (although rangers will even warn you of hypothermia, which seems crazy but real). Around the waterhole, there is plenty of sand to relax on, although with limited shade. You can also scramble further along and over the rocks to get deeper into the gorge. You can usually find some more swimming spots and sandy banks with less crowds the further you go. Artwork will come framed in a hardwood shadow box frame.
