Description

Raw and Untouched Northern Territory Series by Lexa Harpell.
' Australia Rocks ' Series by Lexa harpell.

Colours of Ormiston Gorge are nothing short of spectacular. Rich, bright red quartzite peaks against the pastels of granite, limestone, sandstone and siltstone dot the riverbed.

Created over 300millions years ago, time, earth's folding and erosion has created a natural, colourful spectacular to feast your eyes upon.

Add a permanent waterhole at its base to swim or cool down, it is one of my favourite places to spend time.

Central Australia was once an inland sea and Ormiston Gorge has fossils to read its past. There are still some tropical plants growing in the era from its long past. Such contrasts!

Ghost gum trees grow along the ridges with their root winding their way down through the cracks in the rocks to the waters. One tree is estimated to have roots 70mtrs deep.
