"Jessie Gap" Top 5 Page for this destination Alice Springs Off The Beaten Path Tip by iandsmith

There are paintings here too but not as good as Emily but the scenery is better, especially if you go through the fence and/or climb one of the ranges, as I did of course; ever mindful that I wouldn’t want to miss out on a good pic. That’s how I found myself scrambling up a steep scree slope to ascend the range.
It’s a different world up top; the panoramas extend in every direction and here is also the world of the rock wallabies and the peregrine falcons. It certainly takes your mind off whatever else you may have wanted to think about.
As I scrambled back down the daily tourists were surprised to see someone above them on the slope and a comment or two was uttered.
The day before I had gone around about an hour before sunset and watched the birds tuck in for the night.
Jessie is about 17 kms east of Alice.
