Our country specialists have travelled the length and breadth of Australia - here are a few of their favourite things to do
Central & Outback Australia
Spectacular gorges, abundant wildlife and Aboriginal art - the Flinders Ranges shelter some of the world’s oldest landscapes and capture the essence of Australia.
Southwest of Alice Springs is Watarrka National Park, a scenic landscape of rugged ranges and gorges that serves as a refuge for an array of plants and animals. Kings Canyon is Australia’s largest and most spectacular, carved into a rocky plateau with vast, sweeping views.
The impressive MacDonnell Ranges tower over the plain, a natural barrier broken by gorges, cliffs and natural pools. Running east and west of Alice Springs they are easily accessible on either a day visit from the town or as a detour on the drive to Kings Canyon.
The Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park was awarded dual World Heritage status for both ancient culture and its natural attributes, and it is worthwhile for anyone visiting the park to look beyond the rock and learn something of its significance.
