The Red Centre
Getting to Australia's red desert heart is half the fun: hop on an internal flight from the
east coast, jump on the legendary train the
Ghan
from either Darwin or Adelaide, or tackle
the Stuart Hwy from the north or south. But whichever conveyance you choose, you'll be
confronted by one of Australia's great truths: this place is gargantuan! Travel in winter to
beat the heat.
Alice Springs
(

; just 'Alice' to her friends) will come as sweet relief if
you've been clocking up the desert highway miles. Enjoy the trappings of civilisation for a
while, but don't dally: there are national parks out there waiting to be explored!
