Ormiston Gorge is part of the West MacDonnell National park in Central Australia. The rugged scenery of the the Gorge is complemented by a near-permanent water hole.
The water and the shelter of the rocks attract an interesting variety of native fauna and flora, including a number of relict plant species. The recent rediscoveries of the Long-tailed Dunnart and the Central Rock Rat in the Ormiston Gorge vicinity demonstrate what an important role the Park plays as a fauna refuge.
Ormiston Gorge was also a favourite place of Albert Namatjira. He often painted beautiful landscapes from this area.
