What our travellers think of their stay

A town nestling in the heart of the Australian continent, Alice Springs was born from an abortive gold rush. Nowadays, it's the departure point for visits to Ayers Rock.

My suggestion

Avoid the town during the Australian summer (December to March) when the stifling temperatures prevent you from really enjoying the splendour of the surrounding countryside.

One of the most isolated towns in Australia, located in the centre of the country in the heart of Aboriginal culture.

My suggestion

Alice Springs is not a very safe place at night, if you're a woman then avoid walking or going back to your hotel alone.

30 km to the south of Stuart Highway, which crosses Australia from end to end, Alice Springs seems to be completely alone in the vast Red Centre.

My suggestion

From May to August, there are a great number festivals organised in Alice Springs.

This part of Australia is unique and distinguishes itself from the other part of Queensland and the rest of the country by its impressive rain forests, deserted beaches, and very diverse animal and plant life. You must have heard people talk about the "wet tropics" which is home 36% of the country's animal species.
