Redbank Gorge

Redbank Gorge is a narrow chasm and permanent waterhole at the western end of West MacDonnell National Park in the Northern Territory, about 156 kilometres west of Alice Springs. Enclosed by steep quartzite walls up to 300 metres high at the base of Mount Sonder, the Northern Territory's fourth-highest peak, it features a deep, cold pool. It is notable for its dramatic gorge scenery, swimming and hiking access, and its location on Namatjira Drive and the Larapinta Trail.

Visitors can expect a short 1 km walking track from the car park over sandy creek bed and rocky terrain leading to a narrow chasm with near-vertical red quartzite walls and a deep, cold permanent waterhole. The gorge is enclosed and shaded, with opportunities for swimming, wading, photography and sightseeing. The setting is remote and natural within the West MacDonnell Ranges, at the foot of Mount Sonder, with no built structures beyond a car park, toilets and information shelter.
