Title: Help with my intinerary - Alice springs
Post by: slcs78 on June 05, 2016, 05:36:53 PM: So we take off in two weeks today for our three month trip. http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=41479.0 (http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=41479.0)

Whilst we have most of the trip roughly planned I still need some advice for the must sees around Alice, the McDonald ranges and Uluru. We obviously want to see Kings canyon and the rock but what are the other must sees? We will have roughly 10-12 days for that area before we start heading north.

Our rough plan below

The Olgas are breathtaking, please go beyond the vallley of the winds walk and continue along the longer walk, you'll climb a hkll and be rewarded with spectacular views.

After Kings Canhon we went the Merenie Loop to Palm Valley, well worth a couple of days stop. Pretty slow drive in but some fantastic scenery awaits. Plenty of brown snakes and mating dingos when we were there in 2014.

West Macs are beautiful, we camped at Ormiston Gorge and used that as a base, do the pound walk, again incredible scenery.

Didn't spend much time in AS itself so can't help there.

The Orminson Gorge walk is great.
Good walk at Trephina Gorge and Ruby Gap well worth the drive out there.
