Redbank Gorge (Rutjupma, pronounced ‘roo-chip-ma’) is a stunning gorge and chasm that is a refuge for many threatened plant and animal species. Located 156 kilometres west of Alice Springs in the West MacDonnell Ranges and nestled at the base of Mt Sonder, it’s also a popular stop for travellers following the Red Centre Way.
Take the two kilometre, 1.5-hour return walk from the car park along the creek bed to the gorge to swim in the cold, deep water of the near-permanent waterhole.
