GLEN HELEN CREEK
Another magnificent gorge. There are several in this area. The gorges were formed after hundreds of thousands of years of erosion.
OCHRE PITS
The Ochre Pits are an area where the erosion of the landscape has revealed rich ochre clays once hidden within a small hill. This is a fascinating story in that the ochre found here was considered to be of the finest quality & was traded amongst various aboriginal tribes. It has been discovered for example that the area around Uluru does not contain suitable ochre to have created the rock art & that the ochre used was indeed from these ochre pits. Considering that Uluru is some 400kms away it shows the high regarded the people had for this oche.
