Almost in the exact centre of the continent, Alice Springs is 1,500 km from the nearest major cities, Darwin and Adelaide.

Alice Springs (Eastern Arrernte: Mparntwe) is the heart of central Australia with cavernous gorges, boundless desert, stunning landscapes, remote Aboriginal communities and a unique pioneering history. It embodies the hardy outback of the Northern Territory's Red Centre and creates a diverse and exhilarating destination to explore.

People often see Alice Springs as a travel hub for sights and hikes in the region, such as Uluru / Ayers Rock, Kata Tjuta / the Olgas (both geographical features are officially dual-named) and Kings Canyon; however, there are actually plenty to see and do in town. That is why we built this guide to help you experience the best of our thriving and spirited outback centre.
