When you arrive to Alice Springs, no matter if it is by plane, train or car, you have about 1,500 kilometres to the nearest major city, up north to Darwin or Adelaide in south. Alice Springs is like a green oasis, but as soon as you leave Alice Springs the vast desert with the beautiful red rock begins.
If you want a little taste of what to expect or learn about the desert before you go out in the real desert, you should definitely visit Alice Springs Desert Park. Alice Springs Desert Park is probably one of the worlds best parks and defiantly a visit worth. You can also visit The Red Centre Alice Springs. There are many guided tours, but if sharing a mini bus with lots of other people does not appeal you can always drive yourself, but you need to rent a 4WD and have in mind all the time, that you are in the middle of the desert and it can be hard to get suppliers.
