  • East Macdonnell Ranges Stretch in the Isolated That Culminate About 100Km, the Ridges Cut by a Series of Gaps and Gorges Country with Superb Ruby Gap
    © Lonely Planet Publications 233 The Southeast If the vast expanse of desert north of Alice Springs seems remote, cast your eyes southeast on a map. Stretching down to the South Australia border and the fringes of the Simpson Desert, much of this corner of the Territory is little-visited but beautiful desert dune country. While many sights can be reached by conventional vehicle, you really need a 4WD to fully appreciate the beauty of this region. The remote Simpson Desert in the far southeastern corner of the Territory is an almost trackless region of spinifex and shifting sands that is one of the last great 4WD adventures. But if you don’t have a 4WD and a taste for desert driving, don’t despair. Immediately east of Alice, the easily accessible East MacDonnell Ranges stretch in a rugged line for about 100km, the ridges cut by a series of gaps and gorges that culminate in the isolated but heavenly Ruby Gap. Just like the ranges to the west, this is lovely country with superb walks, lots of bush camping and the eerie historical ghost town of Arltunga. To the south lies a sparsely inhabited region where rolling sand dunes are broken by incredible rock formations (Chambers Pillar is a highlight), accessible Aboriginal settlements and some great outback driving and camping under a vast desert sky. Compared with west of the Stuart Hwy, this is an untouched area and that alone makes it alluring. HIGHLIGHTS THE SOUTHEAST Camping out like an early explorer and circumnavigating the dramatic sandstone beacon of Chambers Pillar ( p242 ) Imagining
