Alice Springs and Surrounds is a vast region that covers the majority of southern Northern Territory, with Alice Springs at its centre. The region extends from Barrow Creek in the north, and all the way out to the borders of Western Australia, South Australia, and Queensland.
Alice Springs is the hub of the Australian outback, where you can stop and plan all your outback adventures. Just in this region you can hike the 223km Larapinta Trail through the West MacDonnell Ranges, discover the ancient landscapes of Finke Gorge National Park, or see it all from above while hot air ballooning out of Alice Springs.
Camp out at the Rainbow Valley reserve and experience the changing colours of the sandstone cliffs in the early morning sunrise or the evening sun set. Take a tour or a four-wheel drive adventure out into the Simpson Desert and witness the endless rolling sand dunes, see the amazing wildflowers, the rare pine trees and the strange and unique wildlife that have evolved to live in the desert environment.
