ALICE SPRINGS

Head straight to the heart of Australia and
discover the magic of the quintessential
outback town, Alice Springs. Nestled
between the beautiful MacDonnell Ranges
and surrounded by gorges and stark
desert plains, this outback township offers
a unique alternative to the usual holiday.
Aboriginal tradition, European explorer
history, quirky events and colourful locals
remarkably come together to create one of
Australia’s most famous outback towns.
