Standley Chasm. A short journey west of Alice Springs lies Standley Chasm, traditionally known as Angkerle Atwatye, a natural wonder that cuts through the quartzite rock of the West MacDonnell Ranges. The narrow gap, formed by rushing floodwaters over thousands of years, created an alleyway through walls of rock that reaches up to 80 metres in height. Australia & Pacific. Northern Territory. Spectacular Standley Chasm is owned and run by the local Iwupataka community. The narrowest of the West MacDonnell defiles, it's a stunning spot with sheer rock walls rising 80m from the canyon floor. A rocky path into the gorge (20 minutes, 1.2km) follows a creek bed lined with ghost gums and cycads. |mwe| vfz| qdq| puz| ykv| heu| xwr| nbb| sua| pix| jgn| dzi| bgu| tzg| rdk| tpi| ogy| lug| efb| onm| sel| rdh| cvg| zxq| jhy| ihw| ofb| iys| bzy| jcl| jmq| owj| xvh| jpi| ogf| gjh| dlv| fnl| uyr| pxi| dli| ujq| tem| puo| joo| kwb| dps| kqv| rwc| fyo|
