Heavitree Gap

Heavitree Gap

The Heavitree Gap, or "Ntaripe" in the Arrernte language, is a gap in the MacDonnell Ranges of Central Australia. It is the entrance to the city of Alice Springs and in addition to the Todd River it carries the main road and rail access to the South.

The Gap was an important sacred site for the Arrernte people and its use as a thoroughfare was avoided prior to the construction of the road and later rail link.
