Alice Springs Australia"Start your Red Centre Experience here" As you'll see from my Ayers Rock page, I think it's a great idea to start at Alice Springs for your Red Centre road trip. Alice is the second largest town in the Northern Territory and is a real mixture between western and aboriginal cultures. It straddles the (usually dry) Todd River on the northern side of the Macdonnell ranges. For me, Alice was a bit of a disappointment. It's no longer a small outback town - it's become a normal town and is a bit rough round the edges. It is however a good place to start your trip and pick up a hire car. My advice would be not too spend too long here but you should come for at least a day or 2. The climate is the same as at Ayers Rock so see this page for more information on when to come and also getting here.
