ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPH
Ormiston Gorge, Tjoritja / West MacDonnell National Park, Northern Territory, Australia.
A quiet evening had me in awe of the ancient rocks towering above me. Ormiston Gorge is a spectacular showcase of the raw power of geological time. It is famous for its towering red quartzite walls. The gorge is an open book on the Earth's history, revealing layers of the Amadeus Basin. The rock visible today isn't just ‘old’, it is ancient on a scale that is difficult to fathom. The primary rock types, such as Heavitree Quartzite, date back roughly 800 million years. These were originally sandstones deposited in a shallow inland sea long before the rise of complex land animals. Around 300 to 450 million years ago, a massive mountain building event known as the Alice Springs Orogeny buckled, folded, and uplifted these layers. This pressure transformed the sandstone into the hard, crystalline quartzite that forms the gorge’s rugged cliffs. The Finke River system, which passes nearby, is often cited as one of the oldest river systems in the world. Ormiston Creek has spent millions of years cutting through these ancient ridges to create the deep gorge seen today. The red rock creates one of the most iconic colour palettes in Central Australia when paired with the white bark of the Ghost Gums (Corymbia aparrerinja) as they cling to the fiery red rock faces.
