The Alice has so much to offer and we ventured out to the West Ranges to Ellery Big Hole, a magnificent gorge about 80 kms from Alice Springs. We spent 4 days camped in the national park enjoying the beautiful surroundings. On our last day we headed further west for a day trip to Ormiston Gorge and Glen Helen Gorge. Tony and I climbed the peak next to the gorge to the lookout. What a spectacular sight! As we entered the park there was a dingo wandering around...

We travelled a bit further than we had planned but found a ni...

But more about that further into the blog We left Manjimup on Tuesday 1st April as planned and spent our first night in a free camp just outside of Ravensthorpe.
