Join us as we travel halfway around Australia during August through to November 2023. Exploring places in Victoria, South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia.
In this video we visited Ellery Creek Big Hole Campground.
On our way up through the middle of Australia, we travelled the Mereenie Loop, a 4WD only track between Kings Canyon and MacDonnell Ranges. Along the route and backed onto the West MacDonnell Ranges is the Ellery Creek Big Hole campground. It's a paid site, with access to an amazing waterhole. In this video I also show you our camp oven slow cooked Beef Brisket, so good to eat and very easy to do.
Ellery Creek Big Hole is a spectacular waterhole in the mighty Ellery Creek which cuts through a gorge in the West MacDonnell Ranges.
Thousands of years of massive floods have carved out this waterhole and unlocked some amazing geology.
It is located 80km west of Alice Springs.
Access is by Larapinta and Namatjira Drives. The last 2km is unsealed.
Roads can become impassable for a short period after heavy rain.
This park requires visitors to the NT to have a parks pass.
We use Wiki-Camps to find our camp sites.
