Jumping Off Point For the Rock

I guess that is Alice Springs in a nutshell. The bar with the peanuts on the ground was fun for a night and the rest of Alice Springs is dustly and dry, but what else do you expect? Get to the rock, use Alice Springs as a great respite for a shower before catching the Ghan to go north or south. The city tour wasn't much to speak of.

Alice Springs

Alice Springs is nothing more than a stop off location for those on their way to Uluru. However it Does have a big Aborigionee community so local gifts i.e paintings etc can be picked up a lot cheaper than other places.

  • Insider tip:Visit the Kangaroo Rescue Center on Gap street and get to cuddle a baby Joey.. If your planning to go to Uluru, Kings Canyon Kata Tjuta, wefound it cheaper to hire a car and camp then to do a tour trip. Plus then you are on your own schedule and take more or less time to enjoy things. We enjoyed Uluru Sunset more than the Sunrise.
