Still culturally significant for the Western Arrernte people, ochre has been collected from here for thousands of years. This can also be used to access Section 8/9 of the Larapinta trail.

Simpsons Gap is one of the most prominent gaps in the West MacDonnell Ranges just 18 kilometres from Alice Springs in the Red Centre of Australia. Featuring towering cliffs, a permanent waterhole, and opportunities to spot the rare black-footed rock wallabies in the late morning.
The "Ochre Pits" was a cool place to visit on our drive along the Red Centre Way drive, about 100 kilometres from Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia. The pits consist of multi-coloured layered rock traditionally used by the aboriginal people for painting and decoration in ceremonies, still used today!
Located in the West MacDonnell Ranges, this beautiful spot has a permanent waterhole and is home to black-footed wallabies and birds. Easily accessible via a bitumen road, the walk to the waterhole is only about 20 mins.
