A Town like Alice with Alice Springs Desert Park - Full-Day Tour

Tour the sights of 'The Alice' including The School of the Air. We learn how children who cannot access schools are educated by radio, we may have the opportunity to listen to and observe actual lessons in progress on air. If you are lucky enough to be there during school term you might see a live session. Stop at the historic Telegraph Station, which marks the original site of the first European settlement in Alice Springs.

Visit the Royal Flying Doctors Service, where you will see how medical aid reaches those who live in the remote 'outback'.

We also make a stop at the Alice Springs Reptile Centre, where you can see up close and potentially touch the lizards and snakes of Central Australia's semi-arid desert, such as the Perentie Lizard and the Thorny Devil.

The tour concludes with a panoramic view of the township of Alice Springs and the MacDonnell Ranges from the top of Anzac Hill.

Before your tour of the town, why not immerse yourself in the beauty of the Central Australian desert at the Alice Springs Desert Park? It’s home to a vast range of plants and wildlife native to the area.

You can really experience the beauty and diversity of this incredible landscape. The Arrernte people, traditional owners of the park, are also on hand to share their local wisdom and knowledge.

You should then have time to for lunch at your own expense, before you are picked up from your hotel for the ‘A Town like Alice’ Tour.
