Simpsons Gap

Reviewed By Travelbug291 - Bribie Island, Australia

Beautiful area, typical of an Australian landscape. There was a small waterhole present, but one can only imagine how amazing it would look when they have a flash flood. There is path access for those with mobility issues, but much more fun if you can walk across the sand. The colours of the valley walls resonate in the sun. Ochres, red, rich chocolate. Small rock wallabies manouvered around the rocks with consummate ease. A tranquil place to spend a few hours

Ellery Creek Big Hole

Reviewed By 882RobertK882

Not far off Namatjira Drive, this is definitely worth a stop. It is a great place for a picnic, a swim or just to take in the primary colours of the scenery.

Ochre Pits

Reviewed By JanineP40 - Red Deer, Canada

After seeing several gorges and waterholes, the Ochre Pits were a nice change! A quick drive off the highway and a short walk in and you can be snapping some beautiful photos. Path is partially set, but you must walk on rocks/sand to get to the Pit. Toilets at this stop.

Ernest Giles Road

Reviewed By 740trevork

corrugated, sandy, interspersed by long hard pack straights. beware, camels are seen in the area! a great short cut IF you have a genuine 4WD, not a town SUV. worth the drive, plenty of places to pull over for a cuppa or camp.

Uluru Hop On Hop Off

Reviewed By VincentNguyen1205 - Darwin, Australia

I just want to thank Sharon for her excellent customer service. We were running late for our sunset trip due to a late flight, and Sharon was extremely understanding and did her best to accommodate us. Unfortunately our airport pickup driver from another company was quite the opposite and could not care less for our need, so we had to cancel our tickets out of regret, after causing some inconvenience for other people waiting more than 15 minutes for us on the shuttle. Sharon courteously refunded our tickets afterwards even though it's not her company's fault. Thanks again Sharon for your help! We did manage to use the shuttle service on the next day and it was very punctual and well-organised. The driver noted down our intended return time, presumably to make sure no one gets left behind in the desert :) There was commentary on the way as well so it's more than just a hop on hop off service. Yes the shuttle schedule is quite limited so you will need to plan your time carefully (and stick to it!). For most people I think it should be fine, unless you want to go with the (very expensive) car hire which gets booked out quickly. Hope demand will increase enough to expand the transfer schedule in the near future :) Cheers, Trung

Serpentine Gorge

Reviewed By JanineP40 - Red Deer, Canada

If you have been visiting all the other gorges along the highway, this one is pretty much the same as the others.. The difference here is the lookout which is similar to the Kings Canyon. It’s about 3 km off the highway on an unsealed road There are over 200 rock steps to get to the lookout so good fitness and footwear is a must, but the reward awaits at the top! Fenced and I fenced lookout spots.
