As a permanent waterhole in the West MacDonnell Ranges, many visitors to the Ellery Creek Big Hole are likely to see a variety of our local fauna. If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the Dingo (Canis dingo).
Whilst they can be elusive, dingoes can often be seen throughout Central Australia and in certain locations they may become use to the presence of humans. They are however wild animals and should not be fed.
On another occasion in summer, their were a couple of young dingoes enjoying the Ellery Creek Big Hole waterhole.
