Just stunning as this is a lovely spot to stop being part of the Mala Walk, a 2-kilometer return trail along the base of Uluru. It has sheer walls and a waterhole. The walk includes several caves with ancient rock art and on the way you cannot help but admire and wonder about the into the traditional Anangu way of life which has been here for thousands of year.
I think getting up close to this gorge is the way to go as you can really feel how this place could have been great for tribes people to collect water and escape from the heat.
There’s plenty of bird life to listen to in this quiet spot. Also plenty of lovely flowers to be seen when you take the time to look.
Fantastic and great signposting to guide you through. Sadly many tourist couldn’t shut up and large groups yabbering away which detract from the peace and spiritual ambience

You can easily enjoy it from the parking lot.
Come during winter as it’s a nice walk then. It didn’t have much water in it but spectacular all the same.
