What you can expect
Explore the sites of Alice Springs and the surrounding outback on a half-day afternoon tour. Enjoy the Sunset and magnificent view from Anzac Hill. The tour includes an overview of panoramic landscapes of the East MacDonnell ranges countryside, including the School of Air, Araluen Art Centre, Dr John Flynn's Museum, Anzac Hill, Emily Gap, and Jessie Gap.
Your first visit is to the Araluen Arts Centre. You will get an excellent opportunity to look closely at Albert Namatjira's arts and learn about their unique natural history, follow the evolution of the landscape and fascinating creatures, and explore the panoramic landscapes of the West MacDonnell Ranges. The Araluen Arts Centre aims to develop a collection of artworks that reflect a permanent record of art practice in Central Australia. Araluen Arts Centre holds a comprehensive collection of paintings by famous Aboriginal artists.
Your next visit will be to Alice Springs School of the Air Experience. The Visitor Centre brings to life an integral and unique facet of the children’s lives in the Australian Outback. It offers travellers the opportunity to learn about the history of 'The World's Largest Classroom', reveal stories about the school from afar and life on the land, and share in Outback students' dreams, achievements, and journeys.
The experience includes a film, a guided presentation about our unique history, and the ground-breaking techniques that make it possible for our remote students to participate in school classes despite time, distance, and isolation challenges. You might even be able to observe a teacher conducting a live lesson in one of our five broadcasting studios right before you! However, sometimes, live lessons will be replaced with pre-recorded lessons.
Your next exciting place is the Royal Flying Doctor Service Alice Springs Tour Facility. Through the wonder of technology, you can see, experience, and learn the heroic tales of the Royal Flying Doctor Service's birth and growth.
After finishing in Town, you will move 16 kilometres to the countryside of Alice Springs and reach Emily and Jessie Gaps. The two small gaps in the Heavitree Range are spiritual sites to the Eastern Arrernte Aboriginal people.
Finally, our last visit of the day is at the iconic local landmark of Anzac Hill, where you can take in panoramic views over the town of Alice Springs and the surrounding MacDonnell ranges. You will also enjoy the sunset from Anzac Hill. Anzac Hill is a memorial dedicated to those who served in Australia’s defence forces during all international wars.
With this attraction, we conclude our tour and will drop you at your hotels or caravan parks.
