Today we diverted from the Larapinta Trail and walked the Ormiston Pound Day Walk - highly recommended.
Starting at Ormiston Gorge carpark we made our way along a grassy track and then started to climb.
Very soon we were walking on the rim of the Pound.
Rob led us across the floor of the Pound
A curry wattle
A waterhole - still holding water from the summer rains
Continuing across the Pound
First views of Ormiston Gorge
Salt rings on the rocks. Larapinta means 'salty river'
A popular tourist spot in the heat
Perfect for lunch
A view from the lookout high above the Gorge
Then down back to Ormiston Gorge
..for another delicious swim
Another warming campfire and delicious meal to complete the day.
