Thirty two thousand nine hundred and seventy eight years ago this month, a tribe of Aboriginals was sitting in the Todd River at what is now Alice Springs. Of course, as usual there was no water in the river.
Pros: free, open spaces yet modern facilities Cons: none
Dead center of Australia lies Alice Springs, a small city of about 30,000. “Alice” has become the jumping off point for many of the fascinating desert trips made by tourists. Lovely gardens, shady eucalyptus trees known as "ghost gums," and unique...
Pros: Amazing vistas and breathtaking beauty: may be a spiritual experience for some Cons: It's not easy or cheap to get there
During my childhood and youth in Australia, Ayers Rock, or Uluru as it is now more commonly called, was ever-present in my consciousness. I'm not suggesting that I thought about Uluru all the time, only that its presence and importance could never be...
Pros: Unique, awe inspring, one of the world's natural wonders Cons: its a long way from anywhere to get there
I was able to take a 2 week field trip throughout central Australia in 1994 with 100 other 10th graders. During this trip we stopped at Uluru for a 4 hour visit. Uluru is almost in the dead centre of the Australian continent. To reach it ...
Pros: An Australian signature to be seen once. Cons: Expensive but worth it.
Make no mistake, getting to and staying at, Uluru is relatively expensive (even for Australians)... still, it's a World Heritage Site and shouldn't be missed. Although one CAN camp there (presuming you've driven), I didn't. First, it's somewhat ...
Pros: Wonderful views of this beautiful State. Cons: Walking to the top!
The Northern Territory is a land from the barren desserts to the lush bushland. Northern Territory is a land of secrets- secrets of beauty. The natural rocky wonders bless this otherwise “dull desert”.
Pros: terrific views, wonderful colors in changing sunlight Cons: Uluru is expensive
To say it right in the beginning - Ayer's Rock is worth a visit.
Contrary to popular believe, I just think that it is not the #1 attraction. Maybe not even the #2 attraction, if we _have_ to rate.
My #1 attraction was the Outer Great Barrier...
Pros: One of the magnificent sites of the world. Anangu aboringinal guides are very knowledgeable. Cons: Bugs, sense of being rushed, visits to parks usually at dawn or dusk.
IN AUSTRALIA'S OUTBACK
ALICE SPRINGS AND ULURU
The Outback is referred to as the "ghastly blank" in the 'unknown land of the south,' or terra australis incognita, the Latin phrase for which Australia was named. The "Red Centre,"...
Pros: Must see site. Worth the cost. Cons: Accommodations and food are expensive. Tours are a ripoff.
One of the must see sites in Australia is Ayers Rock. It is smack dab in the middle of the continent - - a long, long way from most forms of civilization. It is expensive to get to and it is not on the way to anywhere else. However, it is fascinating ...
Pros: changing colours at dusk Cons: it's a long long hike for the unfit
Uluru (Ayres Rock) is the largest Monolith. In the heart of Australia's Red Centre it stands tall as one of Australia's biggest tourist Attractions. The Heritage Site has been there for over 20 million years changing colour as each day go's by....
