Alice Springs Ranches - Reviews and Rates

Yes we should really have booked, and no there were no sites available in Alice springs because the Finke river desert race was on over the long weekend. Fortunately Plan B could be put into action. After getting supplies and our first lot of MacDonalds fot the trip (at the first one we saw since Mildura) we headed out of the Alice Springs Finke...

Alice Springs, another 700km on a hot day!! We weren't sure what to expect from Alice Springs after Coober Pedy .We past a few more dead kangaroos and flew past one or two sand storms ( mini ones)!! We were also beginning to feel a little more relaxed with the whole outback thing as well!! We arrived to a really nice campsite with great faciliti...

We were picked up today at 12.15pm, by Greg our tour guide. There were 6 of us that were picked up from the Haven hostel and 6 more on the bus - 12 of us in total. The bus is very similar to the bus we used in Tanzania, an old 20 person bus, luckly with airconditioning. There is also a trailer on the back were we store our big bags. Greg hands o...

Went on a 3 day tour from Alice Springs to see Uluru (Ayers Rock now known by it's Aboriginal name), Kings Canyon and Valley of the Winds. The two nights we slept in the bush in a swag. It's basically an outdoor sleeping bag with a cushioned section to lie on and its made out of a type of leather or thick canvas that's coated with wax to keep ou...

It was about time we tried the 'free camping' thing. Tania and Nigel had done it before so we thought there would be no harm in having a go. Firstly before leaving Alice Springs we visited the Desert Park, a nature park which was set up extremely well. It contained a few animals but focused mainly on the plants, trees and birds of the Australian...

Another early morning as we had to get to Kings Canyon and do the three hour hike before the temperature hit triple digits. We left the trailhead at 7:30 and it was already 84. Kings Canyon is an otherworldly collection of valleys and strange red rock formations all surrounding the one massive central canyon. Perfectly shear rock walls all surro...

Hello We flew from Cairns to Alice Springs which is in Central Australia, where we went on a 3 day 2 night camping trip (Although it was proper camping as we had beds and showers). On the first day we went to Kata Tjuta (Olgas), which are 36 rounded domes, we were meant to walk all the way round them but it was over 36 degrees so the walk was sh...

3 day tour of Kings Canyon, and Uluru (Ayres Rock)!! Over-rated sunset and sunrise over Uluru!

The 500km journey from Uluru to Alice Springs consists of only 2 roads - straight along Lassiter Highway and then left up Stuart Highway. It is even more simple that there is nothing at all to distract you along the way. The handful of 'towns' are actually one roadhouse with a petrol pump and the only side roads are dirt tracks to the remote cat...

Wir sind nun fuer 3 Naechte in Alice Springs. Am Sonntag morgen gab es auf unserem Camping "Free pancakes"- mhhh das war lecker. Wir verbrachten den Tag in den MacDonnel Ranges West (Die MacDonnell Ranges sind eine 644 km lange Gebirgskette im Northern Territory Australiens. Sie bestehen aus parallel laufenden Bergkämmen aus rotem Sandstein). Be...
