    Just amazing. This heritage site is geologically, historically and culturally amazing. It is well worth the effort to see and can be included in touring the MacDonald Ranges

    Located about 45 minutes west of Alice, this is a wonderful and extraordinary site of cultural and geological importance. A small signage area explains the site and you can do a short 5 minute walk...
