Where are the MacDonnell Ranges?
Located a few Kilometres South of Alice Springs in the centre of Australia, MacDonnell Ranges are a continuous Mountain Ranges that traverses some 400 miles across the southern Northern Territory.
It was named for a long forgotten Governor of South Australia, Sir Richard MacDonnell by John McDouall Stuart, who discovered the Ranges in April 1860, during an overland expedition.
There are many scenic spots and the chasms and gaps are frequented by thousands of visitors every year

Somehow one does not associate Australia with mountains. I was surprised that a mountain range there is even called the Alps. Good question!

If you stand on the top of one of the steep rises, look out over the desert, and totally relax, you’ll feel the country seep into your soul. An amazing experience.

I lived in Alice for twenty years and loved seeing the sun light up the ranges. They're really beautiful.

Knew it was Aust straight away and living in Canberra, knew it wasn't near here.

I briefly thought about Scotland, then I was quickly drawn to Australia (and not near the capital).
