Here we go again, there is so much space here that our walks always take different tracks but can go in similar directions which always makes the walk interesting. From our cottage there is a visible ‘v’ within the Chewings Range in the West McDonalds which we are guessing is not far from from Standly Chasm(a popular visitors spot which is also a part of the Larapinta Trail). We have walked in this direction a few times & are gradually getting closer to the spot, usually we follow cow tracks so you can end up anywhere but it is always lost of fun. On our next walk we followed one of the creeks & walked up the other end of Drovers Hill (which is located behind the camp & a well used walk for the campers & school groups who come out here) – it was filled with lotz of ups & down so definately a good walkout.
