Chambers Pillar is a sandstone pillar about 160 km south of Alice Springs, rising 50 metres above the surrounding plain.
Chambers Pillar is a registered Site of Aboriginal Significance, associated in local tradition with the Gecko ancestor Itirkawara, whose wife is said to have become Castle Rock about 500 metres away.
European explorer John McDouall Stuart recorded Chambers Pillar in April 1860, naming it after his sponsor James Chambers.
