Trephina Gorge, East MacDonnell Ranges
The beautiful Trephina Gorge is located 76km east of Alice Springs. It has towering red quartzite cliffs, ghost gums and magnificent river red gum trees. A semi-permanent water hole in a bend in the white, sandy bed of Trephina Creek attracts an abundance of bird life - black fronted plovers, Pacific herons, fairy martins, galahs and red-tailed cockatoos.
