Alice Springs CBD

Alice Springs

The Ghan makes a 3,000km journey from Darwin to Adelaide, with the mighty wheels kicking up the red dirt of the Australian Outback as it travels straight down the middle of the country.  

It's a once in a lifetime journey, but it pays to be prepared. My tip for any visit to the Outback is to invest in a fly net for your head and shoes you don't mind coming home covered in red dust! #LifeatExpedia
Make sure you get the #windowseat if you ever fly out from Alice Spring Airport #uluru #ayerrock #viewfromabove #LifeAtExpedia
The landscape is pretty bare in the Australian outback.  However, what there is to see has great beauty!
Most places have a healthy pigeon population.  The pigeons in Alice Springs come with a very cool hairdo:)  This crested pigeon was happy to pose for me!

Overall great experience, really can't complain. Rooms are clean, staff are friendly. Only wish the tables outdoors were wiped down or had a hand brush handy to wipe the tree bits off.
