Ellery Creek Big Hole is a spectacular waterhole in the mighty Ellery Creek, which cuts through a gorge in the West MacDonnell Ranges. Thousands of years of massive floods have carved out this beautiful waterhole and unlocked some amazing geology.
Getting there:
From Alice Springs, head west out of town on Larapinta Drive/Namatjira Drive (Red Centre Way) towards Glen Helen for 90km before turning right (signposted) and travelling 1.8km on a graded track to the car park.

Route/Trail notes:
From the car park, a short, straightforward walk in to the waterhole and back.
Permits/Costs:
None.
Other References/Comments:
The short (3km) Dolomite Walk also starts from this car park.
This is just one of a dozen or more walks that are accessible along the 130km stretch of Larapinta/Namatjira Drive from Alice Springs to Glen Helen. Recommendation is to spend two/three days completing all the walks by taking an overnighter at the Glen Helen pub.
