| A hiker enjoys the sunny solitude of the Macdonnell Ranges, which run a parallel east-west course along the northern edge of Alice Springs in central Australia. Tree-shaded canyons, reflecting pools, and stands of white-barked ghost gums greet visitors to the Macdonnell Ranges, where red cliff walls rise above creek basins. The mountains' dramatic gorges and valleys shelter a variety of wildlife and treasures such as aboriginal rock carvings, gold, garnet, and beryl. Beyond the mountains to the southwest is Uluru (Ayers Rock), one of the largest monoliths in the world. |
