Ikuntji is situated within the spectacular West MacDonnell Ranges. The community is surrounded on the northern side be Ulumparu, known as Mount Edward, and Anyali, know as Mount William, and in the south by the stunning Mereenie Bluff. To the west red sand hills and stands of desert oak trees, known locally as “kurrkara watiya”, dominate the landscape. The mountains change their colours depending on the light of the day and the rain; some highlights at dusk and dawn may only last a few seconds.
