After having a late night waiting for an election result we were all a bit bleary-eyed setting off on our trip into the beautiful West McDonnell Ranges visiting Ellery Creek Bighole, Serpentine, Glen Helen, Redbank & Ormiston Gorges before driving 22ks into Palm Valley down the Finke River....4WD only dirt road basically driving on the riverbed until arriving at the parking spot to finish by walking along the banks of the river lined with ancient palm trees and cycads. Max says he has turned into a mountain goat negotiating the rocky walks....it is great to walk through such breathtaking scenery. The drive into the Finke River is quite demanding and I am wondering where the races are held annually for the dirt bike and buggy enthusiasts.
Would you beleive that we drove our Honda CRV right into Palm Valley. We made sure that we left before everyone else just in case we got stuck!
