Frequently asked questions
Where is Alice Springs?
Alice Springs is a remote outback town in the center of the continent, within the state of Northern Territories. The town is nearly equidistant between Darwin and Adelaide — each hundreds of miles away and connected via the Stuart Highway. Alice Springs Airport is 15 minutes south of town and offers flights to and from Perth, Darwin, Adelaide, Sydney, and Brisbane. For an unforgettable experience, the Ghan is a luxury tourist train between Darwin and Adelaide, which stops in Alice Springs among other places. There are public busses, taxis, and rental bikes to get around aside from exploring the town by foot. Given the rugged and rural setting, a car is recommended to see as much surrounding area as possible with the most flexibility.
What is Alice Springs known for?
The center of Australia is called “The Red Centre” due to the color of its expansive deserts. Alice Springs is one of the largest hubs to explore the wide open spaces around, including West MacDonnell National Park, but the town itself is also important for learning about Aboriginal art and culture. The town played an important role in telegraphic communication when the Overland Telegraph Line arrived in the 1870s, linking South Australia to Darwin, and ultimately Asia. Given the flat landscape, the area is also good for long-haul bicycling when the weather’s not too hot. Off-beat activities might include hot air balloon rides and camel tours.

- Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve: Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve is set in a parkland, just a short walk north of town center.

The long-distance Larapinta Trail also departs from the park.
