Alice Springs Walking Tour
Alice Springs, Australia
Why Walk Alice Springs
Alice Springs sits in a gap in the MacDonnell Ranges in Australia's Red Centre, surrounded by vast desert in every direction. The town is the gateway to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (450km southwest) and the starting point for exploring the ancient landscapes of the West and East MacDonnell Ranges. The Arrernte Aboriginal people have lived in this area for tens of thousands of years, and their culture is woven through the town's galleries, cultural centers, and sacred sites.
