The Pound, a ring of mountains, is dominated by Mount Giles, which forms its eastern boundary. The western boundary is formed by the Ormiston Gorge, a popular tourist destination.
Ormiston Gorge Water Hole
The pound is accessible from a road in the west, which travels between Glen Helen and Alice Springs. There is a waterhole at the bottom near the gorge, as well as several lookouts. The entire pound encompasses 46.55 square kilometres (17.97 sq mi). The Finke River passes Ormiston Gorge in the west.
