| The sunsets were magnificent |
I have had to search my photos and go back to 2006 when we travelled to the Northern Territory with friends. Glen Helen Gorge was a lovely little place to camp and the gorge at that time of year was very pretty too. We stayed a couple of days there to have a rest and to enjoy the great scenery. Travelling can be quite tiring because we stop and do as many walks as we can manage, and in Australia there is a lot of driving, so we all needed a break.

Glen Helen is about 130 km west of Alice Springs in the West McDonnell ranges on the Finke River and is only one of six permanent waterholes on the Finke River.

As these photos were taken way back in 2006 the camping area and facilities are probably now much different. We enjoyed exploring the area and the natural environment. I imagine now there are many more visitors. Back then we loved the remoteness and ruggednes of the landscape.
I hope you have enjoyed the photos of this beautiful part of Australia as much as I have enjoyed reliving the trip.

Great views! Amazing pictures!
Certainly are beautiful sunsets there! If there are only a few waterholes in the area do they get a lot of animals coming there to drink? Or does having people all around scare them off?
Rita, thanks for your comment. Because of tourists the kangaroos probably go to other smaller waterholes which are up in the West MacDonnell ranges. Kangaroos are always around but usually keep away from people and sadly a lot get killed on the roads. When there is a drought they will go anywhere for water even a small waterhole. Glen Helen is quite large and wouldn't dry up very often.
It’s beautiful, great photos! Denise :)
Thank you for your lovely photos. I have not traveled in the NT and only a little bit of WA. Sady, I doubt I will get to these places now as we can no longer caravan.
