East MacDonnell Ranges

Heading east from Alice Springs, you take the Ross Highway. You'll see the following points of interest in order:

Jesse Gap
Emily Gap
Corroboree Rock
John Hayes Rock Hole

'Trephina Gorge

At this point there's a 4WD turnoff which cuts north, allowing access to

Ruby Gap Nature Park
Arltunga
Gold Mining ghost town, 4WD track only, hotel, a camp area and a tourist centre, hands on display about the area and gold mining. You can visit the old township and surrounds.

Eventually the northern dirt track meets up with another track heading east-west from Stuart Highway. If you choose to follow on Ross River instead of cutting north, you come to

N'Dhala Gorge
