Standley Chasm Angkerle Atwatye is a breathtaking marvel of Central Australia, where striking geological formations meet deep cultural significance.
Situated in the West MacDonnell Ranges National Park, it's nestled in a private flora and fauna reserve managed by the Local Arrernte Aboriginal people. This attraction is more than just a natural wonder; it's a testament to the enduring legacy of the Arrernte Aboriginal people.
Walking access to the dramatic 80m sheer rockface of the chasm is along a well-maintained trail (1.2km/15 minutes each way), following the natural creek bed with seating and interpretative signage.
Angkerle Atwatye “the Gap of Water” is a striking geological formation that has significant botanical, birdwatching & wildlife photography appeal. It’s an important cultural site for Arrernte people, and now provides a backdrop for authentic cross-cultural presentations, bush tucker tours, art workshop / tours.
