Central Australia

Nestled between the beautiful MacDonnell Ranges and surrounded by gorges and stark desert plains, the outback township of Alice Springs offers a delicious contrast to the usual holiday experience.

Smack bang in the red centre of Australia, ‘Alice’, as it’s affectionately known, is home to people with a love of warm desert days, clear cool nights, and a sense of adventure.

There’s plenty to see and do on your own, with Indigenous art galleries lining the streets, historic landmarks, self-drive trails and animal parks to explore. Why not choose from the diverse range of cultural and nature based tours; learn about past days, local wildlife and the riches of the surrounding country. You can always pick up a vehicle or join a tour and venture further outwards, travelling to the world-famous Uluru and neighbouring Kata Tjuta, the craggy, gaping Kings Canyon, or north en route to Tennant Creek and Karlu Karlu (Devils Marbles).
