Standley Chasm
Visitor Centers
Just astounding! $12 entry per person through the cafe. About 800 metre easy walk to the Chasm and water hole. So glad we made the effort! All sealed road 😀

Australia is truly the lucky country, celebrated for its stunning natural beauty. It's a must-visit destination, offering plenty of amenities and cafe to satisfy your hunger. Great walking tracks too.
It is a beautiful view. Standley Chasm is stunning, as an Indonesian.. I am very impressed how it looks like and how it processed. Happy had been here
This beautiful place is 45 minutes drive from Alice Springs city. There's a safe car park where you can park your car or caravan for free. There's also a nice restaurant with a daily breakfast and lunch menu at reasonable prices. The staff is friendly, and you can buy tickets for entry inside the restaurant.
The stunning natural beauty here is not to be missed.
Easily accessible from Alice Springs and the second closest gorge, Simpson's Gap being the closest. Sealed road makes for easy access.
There is a sizable carpark but it can quickly fill up so it's better to head out early-ish.
There are toilets on the Eastern side of the carpark.
A sizable Cafe on site and is quite good. It's also where you have to buy tickets to enter the walk to Standley Chasm.
It's an relatively easy walk along the way and would suit most people. All other gorges and photogenic areas are much further out. If you are time poor on your travels you don't need to go further than here.
Highly recommended.

A lovely day for a walk. Wet timed it just right for the sun to shine down the chasm (apparently approximately 90 minutes around noon)
A gentle walk although the path was not as flat and stable as some might require.
Another amazing place to explore. Clean toilets and a good shop to get snacks etc. the path to the Chasm is well maintained and an easy walk. Loved it.
It's only a short walk with beautiful scenery wmand lush vegetation due to the springs there. We saw a bat tree leaves shaped like bats never seen one or even knew they existed.
It's a bit of a con having to pay after the NT park passes, the Kakadu park passes, and the Uluru park passes. We have spent a lot of money on these park passes.
