Alice Springs Desert Park
A bit like Noah's Ark, this desert park brings together all the animals of central Australia and puts them in convenient locations for viewing. The park is divided into desert area, sand area and forest area, and you can mingle with this vast desert and more than 120 kinds of animals and more than 350 kinds of plants that live in it by walking. There is a 1.6-kilometer walking trail in the park, which is easy and pleasant to walk. If you are lucky, you can also encounter kangaroos, wild boars and short fat wrens during the visit. The park faithfully reproduces the habitats of the animals, and the park provides helpful signboards that explain the changing seasons and how local indigenous people adapt to their natural environment and use these natural changes to plan their lives. In the nocturnal animal exhibition hall, you can observe the living conditions of nocturnal animals such as owls, bats and rodents in the dark, as well as endangered bandicoots and ghost bats. If you want to watch eagles or other raptors pounce, head over to the Nature Theater.Flynn · 3.6 km from downtown
ANZAC Hill
Mount Anzac is a well-known symbol of Alice Springs and the location for panoramic views of Alice Springs and Mount Macdonald. The monument on the top of the mountain was unveiled on Anzac Day on April 25, 1934, to commemorate the martyrs who died for Australia in World War I and subsequent wars.Alice Springs · 638m from downtown

Rainbow Valley Conservation Reserve
From Alice Springs, drive 77 kilometers south on the Stewart Highway, turn into a four-wheel drive road, and drive another 24 kilometers to reach the Rainbow Valley Reserve. The cliffs that rise from the flat ground in the reserve are creamy below and orange above, especially in the early morning and dusk. The sandstone here contains iron, which is dissolved by water in the rainy season and reappears in the dry season, thus creating colorful cliffs. Along the marked hiking trails, you can take in the colorful rock formations to the aptly named Mushroom Rock. The reserve has paid campsites that are not sheltered, but nice to watch the sunset.Hugh · 62 km from downtown

What travelers say about Alice Springs

4.0
The starry sky picture taken by a professional photographer has arrived. You can see that I am the one who planted myself in the sand. The wind on the beach is too strong to stand. I have to wait for a long time before I can move! The starry sky belongs to people with imagination. Taurus, Orion, Southern Cross, Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, and the Milky Way are particularly clear today. It seems that in an instant, I felt the heartbeat millions of light years away.

I have been here a few times to watch the sunset, enjoy the views of the bay and islands, and take in the area. It is easy to drive to the top, but once there it is more difficult to walk, stay on the trails to enjoy the views that are unlike any other. There are also information signs, a gift shop, and clean restrooms. This place is always crowded, so plan your visit accordingly.

It's a very natural place. The red scenery looks very unusual. It's amazing. Please pay attention to safety when you come here.
