Ellery Creek Big Hole, 88 km (55 mi) west of Alice Springs, is one of the coldest swimming holes in the Red Centre. It's also the deepest and most permanent water hole in the area; thus, you may glimpse wild creatures like wallabies or goannas (monitor lizards) quenching their thirst. Take the 3-km (2-mi) Dolomite Walk for a close-up look at this fascinating geological site.
