Visit Central Australia

04/06/2026

LOCAL SECRET: Looking for one of the best sunset spots in Alice Springs? 🌅 The Sunset Hill Walk might just become your new favourite short (7km loop) hike.

A quick climb rewards you with sweeping views over Alice Springs and the surrounding ranges, especially magical as the sky starts glowing in shades of orange, pink and gold ✨

And at the summit? You’ll find Scrabble-style letters waiting at the top, making it the perfect spot for a fun photo to remember your Red Centre adventure 🤎

Short, scenic and sunset-approved.

There’s something about the Red Centre that stays with you long after the hike is over ✨

Maybe it’s the silence of the outback.
Maybe it’s the endless ridgelines and ancient landscapes.
Or maybe it’s the feeling of watching the sun rise over the Red Centre after a night under the stars.

Stretching through the spectacular West Macs, the Larapinta Trail is considered one of Australia’s greatest walks, and for good reason 🤠 Whether you tackle a section or take on the full adventure, every step is worth it.

📸 thank you for sharing you adventure!

The Red Centre will always hold a special place in our hearts ❤️🌧️🌿

After all the recent rain, Central Australia is looking very different - alive with colour, growth and magnificent vegetation across the landscape. It’s a reminder that many of our deserts are far more diverse than most people imagine.

These incredible images from Tourism Central Australia show just how transformed the Red Centre is right now.

Have you ever seen the Red Centre this green? 👀

The Thorny Devil is one of the Red Centre’s most fascinating little locals. Covered in spikes from head to tail and perfectly adapted to life in the desert. Despite their fierce look, these unique reptiles are completely harmless.

Spotting one in the wild isn't easy, but you can have a guaranteed sighting at 🤎

Book you pass through Alice Springs Visitor Information Centre or online before 30 June to get 25% off your bookings in the Red Centre including Desert Park entry and tours.
