only place i aint done is standley chasm, redbank gorge and henbury meteorites in the west macs - once ive done them i'll venture out into the east macs which im looking forward to as it is drier and has lots of sacred sites with rock art.. should be amazing!

bbb go out on the Glen Helen road and when you are about to cross the Hugh Rv crossing take the gravel road along the range on your right and follow that all the way back to the Macs .Two places to see right hand fork when your nearly up to the range is Fish hole and just back from there is Hugh Gorge left fork .Pm me for more spots.

Tylers Pass lookout & Tnorala is worth a visit if you haven’t made it there yet. http://www.nt.gov.au/westmacs/places/tnorala.
Serpentine Gorge is worth the walk...... possible to find some beautiful little quiet spots on the water to chill out for a while.
Redbank Gorge is worth the swim - it’ll be cold though. We got told of snakes in the water but didn’t see any - go right to the end.
Howards lookout (aka Point Howard - drive up a rise on the left somewhere along Larapinta Drive - bitumen) gives great views right along the West Macs & good for an overnight stop (no facilities but an amazing place to wake up for brekkie).

When you get out to Uluru - the ‘Valley of the Winds’ walk through Kata Tjuta is an absolute must - it is truly spectacular!

I’m envious - loved that part of the country & want to exlpore a lot more out there - beyond the main tourist spots. East & West Macs are both great, but I prefer the West.

I’m led to believe the drive out to Boggy Hole is a very enjoyable adventure with good camping (despite it’s name)....... it’s on my ‘to do’ list.

Boggy Hole is a great spot follow the Hugh down too the Junction water hole and when you drop into the Finke just keep going . Best to go with a local to pick up the turn off or go the conservation commission and see read their instructions . Fill the tanks up you can end up at the henbry meteorite craters heavey slog though sand though .

3D - diesel at the shell is 1.39 and has not changed since i arrived - strange as other stations seem to be much more and go up and down!

Cuppa redbank and goose bluff is on my list - i've done the rest in west mac - although i did not swim in Serpentine Gorge due to the traditional owners dreaming. the west macs are indeed amazing.. but i'm excited for the east as there is lots of rock art!

DT - boggy i've heard is good but would not do it alone - have read horror stories although the traditional owners have used the rent money to install mobile hotspots along the route for 'tourists' using the track who become stranded.

Watch out for dark spots in damp areas you will be digging and sinking for awhile they are like quick sand .drop the tyre pressures down to 15_18 psi go to low range and use the whole box you will nail it .
