Have spent the last two days walking into and up gorges and out to waterholes in the West MacDonnell National Park.
The first day we traveled out to Hermannsburg, the first Aboriginal Mission in the Northern Territory, was established by the Lutheran Church in 1877 on the traditional lands of the Western Aranda people.
Funded by the Hermannsburg Institute of Germany who trained and sponsored the first missionaries.
was abandoned by it founders in 1891 lurched three year later by the Inmanuel Sunod of South Australia, operated by the church for the next 88 years and in 1982 restored to the traditional Aranda Owens under the Aboriginal Lands Right Act.
In the afternoon we went to Standley Chasm ( Anglerle Atwatye ) .
