The outback oasis of Alice Springs is situated at the approximate centre-point of Australia. It is part of the Northern Territory, located in what is sometimes referred to as the Red Centre, a name that points to the rich ochre deposits found here. Located along iconic Ghan railway, Alice Springs is equidistance from Adelaide and Darwin.

The Alice, as it's affectionately called, is the perfect place to stage an excursion into the quintessential outback. This is the only major city for miles, and tourists flock here for a glimpse of life on the Australian frontier. Tour operators plan trips of any length into the remote surroundings, and any skill set can be accommodated.
