Standley Chasm (Angkerle Atwatye)

Highlights

Standley Chasm is a beautiful place where you can explore nature and learn about the culture of the Western Arrernte people. The walk to the chasm takes you through stunning red rocks, and at the end, you’ll find a giant crack in the earth, with steep, towering rock faces that are over 80m high!

Along the way, you can spot cool animals, like birds and lizards, and even take part in fun activities like bush tucker tours and art workshops. It’s a great spot for kids who want to learn about Aboriginal culture while having an exciting outdoor adventure!
