Follow the sandy paths of Ellery Creek and the Finke River, spot native (and introduced) fauna and flora and explore the natural phenomenon of Palm Valley. The camping area at Palm Valley is great, with shaded campsites, toilets, showers and even communal barbecues on offer to those who decide to doss down here for the night. Finke Gorge NP is the focal point of a perfect two-day, off-road escape, looping out from and back to Alice Springs, with the Finke River 4WD Route a highlight. [Extracted from the article]
