Red Centre Local’s Tips

Turn up for an epic road trip on the Red Centre Way (Alice Springs – Uluru – Kings Canyon) this spring. Bring your sense of adventure (and your swimsuit!) to Alice Springs, as you explore the Red Centre’s iconic sites: Tjoritja / West MacDonnell Ranges, Watarrka/Kings Canyon, and Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Travel through red desert sands, palm-lined valleys, dramatic gorges and swim in magnificent outback waterholes.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’re probably aware that walking or climbing on Uluru was banned back in 2019. It's an important site of great significance to Anangu culture and its traditional custodians.

Turn up in spring to the outback town of Alice Springs where adventure awaits. Positioned between the East and West MacDonnell Ranges, Alice Springs is celebrated for its desert landscapes and its people who have shaped its history. The region holds a strong cultural connection to traditional custodians, the Arrernte people.
