One of the most popular places in this area is Ormiston Gorge and Pound. There is a camp site and a near permanent water hole. We had thought of doing the pound walk which is a complete circuit of the gorge but it takes 3 to 4 hours and the heat was just too much at over 40 deg. So we set off on the 40 mins Ghost Gum Lookout which went up to a lookout over the gorge with good views.

We made a decision not to stay the night here because of the heat, it was 43 deg and with no breeze or power for air con we knew it would have been an unpleasant nights sleep.We also felt we had seen enough of the area. I think if you visited it first before exploring up north, the Kimberly's and Karijini you would have been more impressed but we felt it didn't quite live up to our expectations. So we headed back to Alice for the night and prepared to leave early the next morning. We knew we were going to have some big days driving of over 500kms so needed to be organised with plenty of water and food.
