Emily Gap is only a few minutes away from Alice Springs.
If you are heading out into the Eastern MacDonnell Ranges, it will be “your” first gap.
Beautiful aesthetically, and of geological interest too, Emily Gap/Anthwerrke has enormous cultural significance to the Eastern Arrernte People.
Accordingly, although it is an easily accessed, “open” and popular spot for both tourists and locals, visitors are requested to treat it with respect.
Emily and Jessie Gaps are now linked by the 7 kilometre long Yeperenye(Caterpillar) Trail – a walking and cycling track, made by local traditional owners.
