Chambers Pillar Historical Reserve
Chambers Pillar Historical Reserve, located 160 kilometres from Alice Springs, is home to Chambers Pillar, a spectacular solitary column towering 40 metres above the Simpson Desert plain. Chambers Pillar was formed from sandstone deposited and worn down over 340 million years. This landmark was very important in guiding the region’s earliest pioneers and is at its spectacular best at sunrise and sunset. John MacDouall Stuart, heading north on his earliest attempt to cross Australia, first recorded the pillar in April 1860 and named it after James Chambers, one of his South Australian sponsors. A high clearance four-wheel drive is required to access Chambers Pillar. Camping is permitted (fees apply), and there are ranger guided talks available between May and October.
