The West MacDonnell Ranges run around 130 kms from Alice Springs. They’re broken by gorges and gaps where there is permanent water, and lots of wildlife. Some of the wildlife is interesting, like the Long-nosed Ta-Ta Dragon. After every little run, the dragon waved one of it’s front legs, a bit like the Queen used to! And the Finke River has to get a mention as it’s the oldest river in the world. Scientists say it’s been there for 350-million years!! By comparison the mightly Colorado River is a mere 7-million years old.
