Alice Springs Desert Park

#australiatrip Alice Springs Desert Park is like an open zoo for the Australian bush and desert animals and birds - from those burrowing underground, to those that fly in the sky. Obviously there are animals that walk and hop too. Although they appeared to be roaming free in the park, there are in fact within enclosures. In one building, many of the small burrowing animals are kept in glass display units, set up in environment as close to natural as possible. Certain areas have lights dimmed for those animals which only come out at night. It is important to bring along drinking water, as the temperature is fairly hot. It is wise to apply sun block, and dress appropriately in order not to get sunburn. The compound is very big, and there are plenty to see. Do allow no less than 2 hours even for a quick visit.
