Lovely spot with the best coffee in town. Go early to see many of Alice's trendy locals start the morning in the sun before work. Go later in the day for a relaxed coffee with board games, light meals and fliers for Alice's best cultural events.

One of the most beautiful spots on the West MacDonald Ranges (which is tough to judge given how spectacular they are)! We recommend doing the 3 hour Ormiston Pound walk if you are a keen hiker. Walk only in the mornings on hot days, and plan to finish before 11am. Also remember to take a lot of water, you're in the desert!
