Car Rental Alice Springs - Exploring Alice Springs

Alice Springs is the hub of a truly magical part of Central Australia, which is best seen by car.

You’re bound to be inspired by the scenery of the West MacDonnell Ranges that motivated artist Albert Namatjira to paint these breathtaking landscapes. Washed in sunburnt oranges, maroons, and purples, these rocky ridges contain chasms and gorges of rugged scenery.

Driving out, you can also visit Simpsons Gap, Stanley chasm, Ormiston and Glen Helen gorges, Palm Valley and Finke Gorge National Park, all remote, unique and peaceful.

Explore the gullies, sheer cliffs, gorges, rivers, and ghost towns of the East MacDonnell Ranges and the gemfields of Harts Range and the historic gold mining settlement of Arltunga of the north.

The East MacDonnell's include the serene grandeur of Trephina Gorge and John Hayes Rock Hole, the Emily and Jessie Gaps Nature Park, the aboriginal paintings of N'Dhala Gorge, and the historic Ross River Homestead.

The Simpson Desert is real frontier country that is still as wild and untamed as it was for the first European pioneers 150 years ago. With its eerie landmarks such as Chambers Pillar, undulating sand dunes and challenging desert tracks, this is four by four outback country at its best.

Most people arrive in Alice en route or from the famous Ayers rock and Kings Canyon, but distances are large. and these are more than 500 kilometres away.
