1 Day Alice Explorer Tour

Your day gets underway with a pick-up from your accommodation in Alice Springs and then we head south along the Old South Road. You’ll get to take in the breathtaking rugged desert scenery, hear some stories about the history of the Finke River and learn about the old telegraph line that used to connect isolated communities right across the Red Centre.

We take a step back in time at the Ewaninga Aboriginal Rock Carvings where ancient petroglyphs carved into the stone are a window into the rich cultural heritage of the Arrernte people. You’ll get to learn all about the significance of these fascinating rock carvings and the traditions that have endured in Australia’s First Nations communities for thousands of years.

Next up we head to the Ooraminna Station Homestead, a working cattle station nestled in the midst of Central Australia’s stunning landscapes. We’ll stop in for morning tea at the Wild Horse Bar and soak up the tranquil atmosphere and genuine outback charm of this special place.

We then head over to the Drover’s Boy film set where the harsh beauty of the Australian outback comes alive. This iconic location gives you a unique glimpse into classic Australian storytelling and cinema.

We take a moment to stop at the Red Dune Desert Lookout and take in the truly unforgettable views across the vast red sand of Central Australia. You’ll have the chance to capture some amazing photos of the desert stretching out to the distant MacDonnell Ranges.

After that, we visit the Old Ghan Museum and get to learn about the pioneering history of the famous Old Ghan Train. You’ll find out how this historic railway helped shape the lives of people in Central Australia by connecting remote communities right across the outback.

We return to Alice Springs and you’ll have some free time to do as you please and grab lunch from one of the local cafes or eateries (at your own expense).

After a day packed with exploring Central Australia’s landscapes, history and culture, you’ll return to your Alice Springs accommodation in the late afternoon.
