Must-see attractions

Olive Pink Botanic Garden

　　A network of meandering trails leads through this lovely arid zone botanic garden, which was founded by the prominent anthropologist Olive Pink. The garden has more than 500 central Australian plant species and grows bush foods and medicinal plants such as native lemon grass, quandong and bush passionfruit. 　　There's a...

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

　　Nothing can really prepare you for the immensity, grandeur, changing colour and stillness of 'the Rock'. It really is a sight that will sear itself on to your mind. The World Heritage–listed icon has attained the status of a pilgrimage. Uluru, the equally impressive Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and the...

Twelve Apostles

　　The most iconic sight and enduring image for most visitors to the Great Ocean Road, the Twelve Apostles provide a fitting climax to the journey. Jutting out from the ocean in spectacular fashion, these rocky stacks stand as if they've been abandoned to the waves by the retreating headland. Today...

Quinkan & Regional Cultural Centre

　　This cultural centre and museum has displays on the Indigenous and gold-mining history of the region. Highly recommended tours of Quinkan Country rock-art sites ($135 to $160) with an Indigenous guide can be booked here, in advance. ...

　　Redfern shelters a cluster of offbeat hangouts for misfits, creatives, queers and subcultural scallywags, and the Tit is one of the best. A sexy, super-inclusive crowd sips cocktails amongst the eclectic decor inside, or around the retro caravan out back. Occasional (free) live shows and art exhibitions. ...

Immigration Museum

　　The Immigration Museum uses voices, images and memorabilia to tell the many stories of Australian immigration. It's symbolically housed in the old Customs House and the restored 1876 building alone is worth a visit: the Long Room is a magnificent piece of Italian Renaissance–revival architecture. Keep an eye out for...

Whitehaven Beach

　　One of of Australia's most photogenic and hyped beaches, Whitehaven is a pristine 4.3 mile-long (7km) stretch of blinding sand (at 98% pure silica, some of the whitest in the world) framed by lush vegetation and a brilliant blue sea. From Hill Inlet at the northern end of the beach,...

Alice Springs Desert Park

　　Head to Desert Park, where the creatures of central Australia are all on display in one place, including many that are extremely difficult to find out on the trail. The predominantly open-air exhibits faithfully re-create the animals' natural environments in a series of habitats: inland river, sand country and woodland....

Araluen Cultural Precinct

　　The Araluen Cultural Precinct is Alice Springs' cultural hub; leave a couple of hours aside for exploration of its excellent sights which include the Araluen Arts Centre, Museum of Central Australia and Central Australia Aviation Museum.

Royal Flying Doctor Service Base

　　This excellent museum, filled with interactive information portals, is the home of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, whose dedicated health workers provide 24-hour emergency retrievals across an area of around 1.25 million sq km. State-of-the-art facilities include a hologram of John Flynn (the RFDS founder) and a look at the...

Migration Museum

　　This engaging social-history museum tells the story of the many migrants who have made SA their home. The museum has info on 100-plus nationalities logged in its database, along with some poignant personal stories. Occupies the somewhat sombre site of a former Aboriginal boarding school and destitute asylum. ...

Araluen Arts Centre

　　For a small town, Alice Springs has a thriving arts scene and the Araluen Arts Centre is at its heart. There is a 500-seat theatre and four galleries with a focus on art from the Central Desert region. The Albert Namatjira Gallery features works by the artist, who began painting...
