Alice Springs Northern Territory

Alice Springs
Alice Springs or ' the Alice' as it is otherwise known, is most noted for the natural features that surround it. Ayres Rock (Uluru) is the most famous of these. It is possible to climb to the top, a 1.6km trek taking about 2 hours, depending on how fit you are. It is also possible to walk the entire way around the base of the rock which is about a 10km trek. Other natural features include the Olgas, Kings Canyon and the MacDonnell Ranges.
