Travelling to Alice Springs for the first time is an unforgettable experience, but knowing what you need to know about Alice Springs beforehand makes all the difference.
The weather can be unpredictable – scorching summer days over 40°C and chilly winter nights that drop to single digits.
It’s also incredibly remote, about 1,500 kilometres from Darwin or Adelaide, so transport options can be limited.
A bit of planning and insight can turn any surprises into smooth and memorable moments in the heart of Australia’s Red Centre.
