Grandpas Guide to Driving in Alice Springs

I’d like to start this guide off with a question. Has it ever occurred to you that camels could be found in the outback? Well, I haven’t thought about that either. Just this morning I happened upon the most interesting discovery!

Back then, the original method of travel in the Australian outback was via camel. Interestingly, these camel trains were run by the Pathan tribes in the North-West frontier of India and Pakistan.

Well, if you still don’t believe it, you can come ahead and visit Alice Springs to see camels in Australia for yourself! Alice Springs happens to be a city in the Northern Territory of Australia. Its unique qualities include its American influence. Over 2.000 US citizens can be found in the city and spread the festivity of their American Holidays. Yes, that means the Alice Spring Aussies also celebrate Thanksgiving Day!

So if you’re planning to go on a roadtrip it would be best to book a car rental. No fuss with public transport, just total command of your own vehicle. Now, wouldn’t that be lovely? All you need to do now is to go to this site http://www.vroomvroomvroom.com.au to bag yourself the best car rental deal around!

1. Outback Ballooning Alice Springs

Drive to Kennett Court and you’ll soon find yourself in Outback Ballooning. If you’re feeling for a flight of fancy, this is the perfect place for you! Float peacefully in the air as you take in the awesome scenery that is he Australian outback. Get a chance to spot red kangaroos, spinifex grasses, mulga scrub and cattles stations as you drift across the air. It’s truly an exhilarating experience!

2. Pyndan Camel Tracks

Now, what did I say about those camels? Well, you can find them here at Pyndan Camel Tracks! It’s a family-operated business that offers a memorable and unwinding camel ride experience in the Red Centre of Australia. It’s just 15 minutes away from Alice Spring’s Central Business area so you really have no excuse not to pop in and feed the camels.

3. Alice Springs Desert Park

To complete your Alice Springs journey you must head on to the Alice Springs Desert Park. In just a span of a few hours you can already unearth the many secrets of the Central Australian deserts.

Encounter all sorts of plants and animals as you go on one of the walking trails. At the end of your excursion you’re also given the bonus in the form of cinema. If you didn’t get enough of your desert trip feel free get 20 more minutes with the desert. You can see the film, “The Changing Heart” and just sit back as it takes you through four-and-a-half billion years of desert evolution.

When you’re done with the Desert Park you’ll definitely come back home from Alice Springs with more stories to tell, more skills to show off and more desert secrets to keep you fashionably wise.

There, the big question about camels in Australia has finally been answered. Balance has been restored. Go off and make the most out of your visit in Alice Springs. Have a fun and magical time, yeah?

I think I should be taking a nap right now. Need to gain back that energy, know what I’m saying? ‘Til next time then, kids!
