The Epitome of the Australian Outback
Alice Springs is one of only two major cities in Australia’s Northern Territory, so it stands to reason that much of the outback state is best visited from this central point. There’s still plenty to do in town, but it’s worth the few hours driving here and there to see trademark Australian sights like Glen Helen Gorge, Ellery Creek Big Hole and of coursethe magnificentUluru.
The town is surrounded by stunning national parks and vast stretches of scorching desert, so nature is very much at work in the area. Visiting Alice Springs means immersing yourself in the Outback and appreciating the raw beauty of it. Meet local wildlife at the Olive Pink Botanic Garden, or literally dive in at Ormiston Gorge in West MacDonnell National Park.
Hire a car in Alice Springs to make your outback trip an unforgettable one
If you’re keen to learn more about Aboriginal Australian culture, visiting the Sounds of Starlight Theatre is a must. Andrew Langford established the theatre in 1996 to introduce others to the famous Australian didgeridoo, and visitors can witness a unique performance of the instrument and learn more about indigenous culture.
Todd Mall is the busiest part of town, particularly every second Sunday when the markets are held. Take the trek up ANZAC Hill to witness all of Alice Springs laid out before you, and pause at the memorial dedicated to the men and women who served in World War One, and the plaques commemorating all who have served.
Alice Springs is an ideal base for visiting the Australian Outback so allow yourself plenty of time to visit the plethora of natural attractions in this beautiful part of the country and you will be rewarded with an experience unlike anything else the land has to offer. Hiring a car during your stay is the easiest way to see it all.

A Quick Guide to Alice Springs
If you “love a sunburned country” you will simply adore Alice Springs. Known as ‘Mparntwe’ to its original inhabitants, this part of the world simply has to be seen to be believed. This remote town is a unique jewel with much to commend it to travellers. A rising and thriving hospitality industry with a wide variety of activities to enjoy and some of the most astounding geography on earth combine with spectacular results. “The Alice” is sure to find a special place in your heart once you begin to explore. A car is essential for getting around here and that's what Hertz comes in – we will get you on the road in no time so you can make the most of your holiday here.
Straight to the Heart
Australians call this part of the world the red centre and as soon as you see the ochre hues of the desert here, you'll know why. Because of the vast distances involved one of the best ways to see this area is from the sky. There are a number of scenic flights that you can book that will take you over the major landmarks, and it is one of the few ways you can truly get a sense of the vast scope of the landscape here. It is sure to be an unforgettable experience, but for extra excitement, if you’re truly brave you can even skydive - sure to be an adrenaline rush you won't soon forget.
Weaving the Dreamtime
For an unforgettable foray into Australia’s ancient history, spend some time with the Tjanpi Desert Weavers. This social enterprise of the Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (NPY) Women’s Council, works with women living in the remote Western and Central deserts, helping them earn an income from contemporary fibre arts. To see the works in person head to their Gallery, where you can see the sculptures, Tjanpi baskets, jewellery and more along with some great demonstrations of the crafts of these unique artisans.
Anzac Hill
Alice Spring’s most visited landmark (that’s still in the actual city) is the very scenic lookout on top of Anzac Hill. Make the drive at sunrise or sunset to snap the most spectacular pictures, or visit anytime to enjoy an ice cream and take in the sweeping views on offer.
Arts in the Heart
The Arulen Arts Centre is both a gallery and a theatre, and a must-visit destination for art and culture lovers. Acting as a hub for visual arts for the region there is a strong focus on indigenous art here, as you’d expect. With more than a thousand artworks on display and a range of audio tours, you will be able to learn all about the rich history on display here. Regular visiting exhibitions further enhance the experience, and the school holiday programs allow even the youngest visitors to get involved. In addition to the galleries, there’s also a thriving theatre scene here, which allows you to escape the heat for a few hours and take in a show.
