Standley Chasm (7 July 2011)

Standley Chasm is about 40km from Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. It is desert country, but there are
fantastic mountain ranges, slashed by gorges and gaps. Standley Chasm is one such feature, shown in the
photos below. A second set of photos, of Simpsons Gap, can be found here.
