Alice Springs Hotels - Reviews and Rates

There isn’t too much to say about Alice Springs. It sounds like it should be a beautiful mirage style desert oasis, but in reality it’s an ugly dusty concrete town that seems to appear out of nowhere and is surrounded by nothing on all sides for mile after mile. So once you’re here you feel a little trapped. And getting here...

The last couple of days it's been about 10 degrees and raining (freezing) so today we decided to leave the rain behind in Alice and travelled to the West McDonnell Ranges and visited Standley Chasm. Was pretty cold (note the jackets) and overcast when we got there but enjoyed the walk and climb to the chasm and the kids had fun looking at all th...

TW - G'day mate and welcome to the next blog. From Melbourne, it was across to Adelaide and then "up the guts" to Alice Springs. Up the guts is the affectionate term given by our colonial cousins to the journey you take through the centre of their country, by the way. The first part of our journey was to take our first overnight bus journey, whi...

Alice Springs has a lot more to see than you would think. One of my favorite things that we did was the Royal Flying Doctors Service museum. The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) was developed by the Very Reverend John Flynn as a way to supply the center of Australia with health and medical services. Before he came up with the idea of using pla...

We arrived at Darwin airport at 11.00am, nice and early for our flight to Alice Springs, unfortunately, the incoming flight wasn't quite as punctual as it was having some problems and hadn't even left Ayers Rock yet! On check in we were told that it would be leaving not at 2.30pm as scheduled but at 3.30 pm. Taking this with a pinch of salt, we ...

As I said the arrival to Alice Springs was not what we were expecting, but we made do. The landscape was a complete 180 from our previous two weeks. Small bushes, rusted colour sand, flat land, and 40 degrees temperature. We realized here that it was not going to be as exciting and fun as what we had just experienced, but as I said, we made do. ...

Uluru was massive, and so were the Olgas (Kata Tjuta), Valley of the Winds and King's Canyon. Fantastic hikes, cold weather, even some desert rain, camels on the road and we had to swerve not to hit the closest and slowest camel bums right in front of us... We left at 6am, picked up three girls just out of the hairdresser's, went by a camel ridi...

So, for the last few days we have been seeing a completely different side of australia...the Outback! We flew from Cairns to Alice Springs on friday, aftera day in CAirns of doing not very much apart from getting highly rained on (think tropical monsoon style rain, and having a wet BBQ in teh evening at the hostel where we tried our first bit of...

We stayed in Alice Springs for 1 night, before heading out on a 3 day/2 night trip to Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjata (The Olgas), and Kings Canyon. ..... this place sucked. I'm kidding, it was a decent town, there just wasn't anything to do. A majority of the people there seemed to be just waiting to depart for their own tour. We wandered around...

-The Rock Tour- Eli ostimme tälläisen kolmen päivän todellisen selviytymisretken Alice Springsiltä Ayers Rockille hintaan 295 AU$/henkilö (175€) Ja nyt vastaan heti kysymykseen, jonka joku muuten sähköpostilla kysyy, nimittäin, että nähtiinkö Kenguruja? :-) Tuota, tuota? Nähtiin ja ei nähty... Auton alle jääneenä nähtiin useampikin ja retke...
