Serpentine Gorge is one of the beautiful places to stop and marvel at the scenery in the West MacDonnell Ranges, Northern Territory. We set off on a dry trip from Alice Springs armed with a map to ensure we looked at all the points of interest along the way. Serpentine Gorge is about 98 kilometres west of Alice Springs on Namatjira Drive - sign posts along the road to indicate the turn.
The Gorge is a short walk from the car parking area and shaded seating is provided with information boards on the area. The Gorge itself did not have much water left during late October (well after the wet season) but we did see several large flocks of Zebra finches as they came to the water’s edge for a drink. Lovely to see them is such numbers in the wild.
Part way along the walk to Serpentine Gorge is a sign indicating a lookout - this is quite a steep climb - you will be rewarded with great views of the West MacDonnell Ranges and, of course, Serpentine Gorge. It is truly amazing landscape.
It is hard to imagine the volume of water that must flow through this area to create such spectacular gorges and expose beautiful rock faces.
