Left Alice for Glen
Helen Resort and on the way visited Ellery Creek where we walked up the gorge.

Glen Helen Resort is an
interesting place with a fabulous towering mountain range as its backdrop. The
resort is licensed and has lunch and dinner available.
We do the short walk
to Glen Helen gorge and spot two of the fish who live in the gorge which is
part of the Finke River. The gorge is one of 7 permanent waterholes along the
Finke which rises at nearby Mt Sonder and ends 700kms away in the Simpson Desert.

Glen Helen resort had very small sites and
very cold nights but the scenery was worth it.
