ALL ABOUT ALICE

-

FOR THE FAMILY

Don’t miss a trip to the Alice Springs Desert Park. This is great to do at the start of a visit, as you’ll find out so much more about everything you’ll see on your experience in Alice. Make sure you time your visit for the bird show – it’s well worth it! alicesprin­gsdesertpa­rk.com.au

FOR THE VIEWS

Pack your hiking shoes and walk up to Mt Gillen, which overlooks all of Alice Springs. The informal trail runs from the back of Flynn’s Grave, and allow at least 3 hours for a round trip. The top section is a true rock scramble with a little bit of climbing involved.

FOR THRILLSEEK­ERS

Book a morning with Outback Quad Adventures, and experience Undoolya station at high speeds aboard a Polaris quad bike. This is no sedate tourist paced ride – get ready to hold on tight! outbackqua­dadventure­s.com.au

FOR A SLOWER PACE

Swap the bike saddle for the back of a camel. The gentle roll of a tour on a camel shouldn’t be missed, and this is a great way to end the day as the sun goes down – we recommend the sunset option. cameltrack­s.com

TASTE THE DESERT

Want to eat out one night? Then book in with Bob Taylor. Experience a dinner party setting with top quality food based on flavours of the Australian bush. An experience not to be missed. rttoursaus­tralia.com.au
