The outback of the Northern Territory offers adventure and so many of Australia’s icon natural landmarks along the way, including Uluru, Kings Canyon and Karlu Karlu / Devils Marbles to name a few.

From the South Australian outback, opal mining town of Coober Pedy, then heading north through the Red Centre to the famous heart of Australia, Alice Springs, this is the region where the skies are big and the colours amaze.

Explore the Red Centre; this is your guide to experience a different and unique part of Australia. Excite all your senses in heart of Central Australia. 

The Red Centre offers a surprisingly varied experience, often drawing you back time and again to enrich your memories that last a lifetime. Culturally rich and scenically diverse, each region you traverse through offers landscapes to marvel and even the amateur photographer will be delighted with what their camera or phone can capture.

To maximise your stay in The Red Centre, your first stop should be the Visitor Information Centre www.discovercentralaustralia.com in the Todd Mall for your full list of ‘what to do’. They can book tours, accommodation and offer you the best advice to make the most of your time here. Their award winning service will have you talking to a local who knows their ‘backyard’, and loves to share their passion.

More than half the land in the Northern Territory is Aboriginal owned and you need a permit to travel through. Ask the friendly staff for any further information. See the Guide-on-line for permit details.

You are spoilt for choice with attractions and adventures; and that’s just close to Alice Springs! A majestic hot air balloon ride at dawn, to a camel ride along the spine of the MacDonnell Ranges at sunset, or a stroll around the world renowned Desert Park – everyone will find a pace to suit them.
