"The Claypans are southwest of Mparntwe, about 20 minutes out of town. And they're a sacred meeting place for Arrernte women, a series of low-lying pans that often hold water. A perfect spot to watch the sunset or sunrise and take in the energy found in Arrernte Country."

"Wurre, also known as Rainbow Valley, is an incredible rock formation in Southern Arrernte Country. It’s a spectacular spot to see the sun dancing across the horizon. The sky and energy of the desert run strong."
