1 Day Alice Explorer

Your adventure begins at 7:45 am with pick-up from your Alice Springs accommodation, as you head out into the vast, sunlit landscapes of the outback. Travel along the Old South Road, taking in the rugged beauty of the Finke River and hearing stories of the historic telegraph line that once connected remote settlements across the Red Centre. Step back in time at the Ewaninga Aboriginal Rock Carvings, where the ancient petroglyphs of the Arrernte people whisper stories of a rich and enduring culture.

Continue to Ooraminna Station Homestead, a working cattle station and film set from The Drover’s Boy, and enjoy morning tea on the deck, surrounded by the peaceful sounds and endless horizons of the outback.

From the Red Dune Desert Lookout, marvel at the striking panorama of rust-red sands stretching to the distant MacDonnell Ranges, before exploring the Old Ghan Museum, where the pioneering spirit of Central Australia comes alive through the story of the legendary train.

Return to Alice Springs for some free time to explore the town and enjoy lunch (at your own expense), before spending the afternoon immersing yourself in its history and culture. Visit the School of the Air to see how children in remote communities are taught across vast distances.

Visit the Telegraph Station, Alice Springs’ first European settlement, once a vital hub for communication.

Discover the lifesaving work of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Finish the day atop Anzac Hill, where sweeping views of the town and the MacDonnell Ranges create a breathtaking finale to your journey. Return to your accommodation around 5:30 pm, having experienced a full day of outback history, culture, and natural beauty.
