Reb Bank Gorge
Route Plan
Meet at Flynns grave at 0945 for a 1000 departure. From Flynns Grave, travel west along Larapinta Drive for 50 km, until you reach the intersection with Namatjira Drive.
Turn right onto Namatjira Drive and keep heading west another 100 km or so until you see the signs into Redbank Gorge.
Same route for return trip. Depending on the events we choose to do is to when we will return. We want to be back no later than 1700.
Food Fuel and Equipment
Food
Lunch for the day (Gas BBQ on site)
Fuel
This is a relatively short Drive of around 300km round trip back to Alice. You all know your own car. Fuel is available at Glen Helen if required.
Equipment
• Most of the way is sealed road, however there is a small section of dirt road to travel as well. I recommend the following
o Water
o Closed in walking shoes
o Sun screen
o Hat
o Basic recovery equipment (Should not need though)
o Clothing and accessories suitable for swimming
o UHF
Activities
Walk down to the gorge (approx. 20 minutes)
Swimming (can go up into the gorge if anyone feels they would like to however it does require a bit of climbing as well and the water gets colder the further you go up.
