A sandstone formation that gives the name to the Chambers Pillar Historical Reserve, in the Northern Territory in Australia, on the edge of the Simpson Desert. The tough 4WD drive and the desert views make for a nice day trip from Alice Springs. From the parking, a 30-minute walk brings you to and around the pillar. There are two particular spots indicated for the sunrise and sunset where the sun directly reflects over the pillar. The view from the pillar over the surrounding desert is purely breathtaking.
Chambers Pillar is a sandstone formation some 160 km (100 mi) south of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia.
