Alice Springs just worked! I was there for Desert Mob so I had things to do for most days. I hired a car for one day and went to Desert park. It was great! The transport was very good, I loved the beautiful trees and plants and all the services were provided with a friendly approach. the bookshop was great!

LOCALS ARE GREAT. THE TOWN IS GREAT. VERY RELAXED. JUST AVOID THE WHINGERS RUNNING HOTELS AND ANYONE NOT BORN IN AUSTRALIA. THEY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO SCARE AND PUT FEAR INTO VISITORS FOR NO GOOD REASON AND DO NOT EMPLOY ANY AUSTRALIANS.

Visit the Museums and Araleun Cultural Precinct, very friendly informative staff. Sacred women's site is located at the back of the Araleun Centre, and a 300 year old corkwood tree stands in the sculpture garden. Beautiful, affordable, hand crafted items at the Cultural Centre run by volunteers; clothing, hats, cards, ceramics, jewelry, and pottery. The Mega Fauna Centre is excellent. Amazing art can be purchased from galleries and artists on the street. Support local artists directly if you can. Many coffee shops, bars selling good quality coffee and food. Would recommend House of Tallulah and Epilogue..delightful staff and good food/coffee...and alcohol after 3 pm at the latter. Must call in to sample local beer and pizza at The Alice Springs Brewing Company..excellent! Olive Pink Botanical Gardens is a comfortable walk from CBD with a return walk along the Todd River. Stay a couple of days.

The Mega Fauna Centre is a ‘must see’, for adults and children. The Araluen Centre we will see on our return next week. Excellent coffee and food and delightful staff at House of Talula’s. Epilogue Lounge has great coffee, gorgeous staff and delicious Buddy Bowl! Lone Dingo is perfect place to get last minute camping needs. Thrifty car hire centrally located in CBD and also at the airport. Be respectful of the local indigenous people, remember we are on their land and we should feel privileged to experience it in such luxury

Everything was fine, but I would not feel comfortable going out after dark. No public transportation on Saturday afternoon or Sunday. I could walk to most places though. Enjoyed flying doctors museum and desert park. Day trip to West Mac Donnell ranges from Alice springs was great. Sunny weather every day. Loved camel ride at pyndan camel farm

So much to see around the city. The desert environment is magnificent. Herrmansburg was wonderful to visit with a great historical and cultural significance, The roads and travelling Alice springs around was easy. The town is easy to navigate.
