Ormiston Pound

Ormiston Pound is a ring of mountains in the Northern [Territory of Australia] punctuating the MacDonnell Ranges, in the West MacDonnell [National Park], approximately west of Alice Springs. It lies at roughly the halfway point in the Larapinta Trail and has views from its circumference of Mount Sonder, Gosses [Bluff crater] and the surrounding range.
The Pound, a ring of mountains, is dominated by Mount Giles, which forms its eastern boundary. The western boundary is formed by the Ormiston Gorge, a popular tourist destination.
The pound is accessible from a road in the west, which travels between Glen Helen and Alice Springs. There is a waterhole at the bottom near the gorge, as well as several lookouts. The entire pound covers. The Finke River passes Ormiston Gorge in the west.
