Walking along the track that links the carpark to the Chasm, you are following a
creek where spring-fed pools attract a great variety of wildlife, especially
birds. It is thanks to the water that the gully floor is lush with plants that
range from delicate ferns to tall gums; including many other species such as the
cycad palm that have survived here from a long-gone era that was much wetter.
This 20 minute walk (one-way) is quite easy, although rocky in places but it is
recommended that you wear sensible shoes and take care where you place your
feet. Standley Chasm is located in a private flora and fauna reserve owned by the
Iwupataka Land Trust. All native plants and animals are protected. Do not pat
the dingoes. |
