Alice Springs

Alice Springs is in Central Australia and part of the Northern territory. Darwin lies to the north and Ayres Rock about 450 kilometers to the south west.

The Alice was first populated by early explorers, wanting to have their share in the promise for rubies and gold back in the mining days, and to this day still remains the hive of activity for this area. It makes for a great travel destination where you can still fossick for gems to try and strike it lucky and explore the Australian desert either by trekking, camping or 4WD.

The East and West MacDonnell Ranges would have to be the most well known parts of the Alice that run for 223km.  Within these areas you can see dramatic scenery, go bushwalking, swim in refreshing rock pools, do some four wheel driving or quad bike riding and witness some of the most breathtaking spectacles in the World.
