A June 2005 trip to Alice Springs by cudthetraveler24
Quote: A town mostly visited by tourists as a pit stop going to Uluru (Ayers Rock), this small Australian town has a unique flavor and beauty that expresses the forgotten side of Australia.
Overview
Renting a car is a must in Alice Springs. Many of the hotels are a good thirty to forty minute's walk from the center of town and the attractions. Some of the rock formations and parks are a good twenty minutes by car and it is not worth it to take a bus on a time schedule when going to places like Simpson's Gap. Bikes are available for rent in the city if you wish to save money and get some extra exercise as well.
WARNING: Alice Springs is a good six hour drive from Ayers Rock despite common misconceptions. It is easier to fly there from the Alice Springs airport.
