Red Centre

Red Centre tours showcase an extraordinary landscape of desert plains, weathered mountain ranges, rocky gorges and some of Australia’s most sacred Aboriginal sites. Alice Springs – known to locals
as simply “Alice” – is a great base for exploring famed sites such as Uluru, its sister rock formation Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon, the West MacDonnell Ranges and their iconic Larapinta Trail.
Just outside Alice Springs, animal lovers can also settle
in for a cuddle with Australia’s national animal at the Kangaroo Sanctuary. Open for tours Tuesday through Friday in the late afternoons and lasting about 2.5 hours, travellers get the chance to meet some of the beautiful red kangaroos that are typical of the Red Centre and even hold a joey.
