Northern Territory: Palm Valley

Approximately 2 hours west of Alice Springs, Palm Valley is located in Finke Gorge National Park. The valley is actually a gorge with high red cliffs, astonishing rock formations, waterholes, and easy walks with some great views.

The 10,000 year old oasis is home to lots of rare flora from a period in history when Australia enjoyed a much wetter climate.
