Itinerary description
It's straightforward to head east from near the mouth of Serpentine Gorge until you reach Ellery Creek. Along the way are some impressive red rock cliffs on the right (south).
Just beyond Ellery Creek is the old abandoned Ellery Yard, and a little south is the north end of Ellery Creek Big Hole. Here is the new Larapinta Trail shelter together with water tanks and toilet. There are some nice spots to camp on the beach.
From the north end of the Big Hole you can see the tourists visiting the south end. A few of them paddle-boarded across to say hello. I found the water too cold for swimming, but a few hardy souls on the south side were having a swim.
