Alice Springs
The bustling heart of the red centre is jam packed with character and culture.
The once far-flung outpost is now a spirited tourism mecca with all the comforts to base your adventure. Servicing an area roughly the size of France and home to iconic festivals such as the annual Camel Cup and plenty of quirky and high-end bars and restaurants. Alice Springs is famous for its rich European and indigenous history and its Aboriginal art on show and for sale. The Macdonnell Ranges surround the town with many waterholes, gorges, short walks, bike rides and longer treks such as the stunning 250km Larapinta trail all easily accessible from town. The Alice is the perfect base to take an extended guided tour and experience the very best of the Australian outback.
