Ellery Creek Big Hole campground NT
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.

    What do you do with the black metal wire (the one you use to put the nut in the right place) hanging in the chasis after you get the screw in the nut? If you leave it there it's going to bang the chasis. right?

      I put an itechworld 120x under bonnet battery in the spot for the second. Hooked up a dc/dc charger. Ran a cable to the boot, to a utility unit, which has a volt meter, 12v socket, and anderson plug to run the second fridge. Then, put a couple of extra utility units in the middle passenger seats and front passengers, for usb and 12v sockets. I did get an auto electrician to check everything. I found the itech battery worked well, dust and waterproof, and has an overheat feature that turns the battery off if it gets too hot.

      We generally check out the water ways first, and generally keep them out of deep and fast moving water. As for snakes we only seen about 4 snakes over the last 15 years. Generally well used campsites and waterholes are too noisey for snakes. Most are shy and try to keep away from people. Always look about first. Hope that helps.

      Hi Dyan, thanks for watching our videos. Our thermal cooker comes from ALDI supermarket. Was on their special buys catalogue. It'd called Adventuridge, it has a 2L inner pot and a larger 5L inner pot. Depending how much you fill the larger pot, you can cook a stew or curry and rice at the same time. I hope that helps a bit.

      @The 5 Wandering Wilsons Thank you so much for that. We're at the beginning of our living on the road forever journey. I've looked at thermal cooking (I have a thermomix) but I couldn't find anything hubby would allow weight wise that would continue cooking with no power. They are all so cumbersome. Would I be wrong in thinking I could use the pots as saucepans and replace some of what I'm currently using? I love the soft case and that it still works. So grateful. Thank you again. Dyan.

      @@the5wanderingwilsons. Try one part of washed Basmati (long grain rice) and up to 1.5 parts of water with added stock and a drop of olive oil. Bring up to boil, then shut off the heat and put the lid on. Partly cook the rice to coincide with the end of cooking the beef casserole. Load both pots into the thermal cooker at the same time, close it up and zip up the insulated bag. It will be hot and ready in from 6 - 8 hours and the rice or polenta will still be perfectly cooked as no steam is lost to the outside. Beef obviously needs more pre-cooking time than chicken or mince dishes. I enjoyed watching your presentation especially the way you pre-prepped the beef and veg. Great video and thanks for presenting to us. I take it you are Australian... I'm a Queenslander.

    Thank you for the Idea. I just ordered a shower awning to go on my custom built truck rack. I have a 270 awning on one side and the truck has a shell with a 20"x 5' swing-up door on each side. I was trying to figure out how to fabricate a swing out shower like you have. Watching your video gave me an idea to make the wring out arm about 10" longer than the awning needs, in hopes of creating enough clearance to open the side door when the shower is in the 90degree position. i might make it have slots for 3 poles that way I can make a rain cover for it that overhangs the poles. A stretch goal for my project is to make it so I can un-bolt the swing arm, and attach it to a 2nd mount that can be ratchet strapped to a tree for longer camping trips. Thank you I will check out some of your other stuff. Roger
