About Alice Springs

Alice Springs sits in the middle of the country and is the starting point for the Red Centre: gorges, ranges and desert landscapes in deep red and orange. From here you can explore the West MacDonnell Ranges or continue on to Uluru and Kings Canyon. You can pick up a campervan or 4WD camper right here in Alice Springs.

Tips for your trip

  • Carry plenty of water and plan fuel stops carefully. Distances are long and services are limited.
  • Avoid driving at dawn, dusk and night when wildlife is active.
  • Check your hire agreement before taking any unsealed roads.
