Pyndan Camel Tracks Alice Springs
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Camels are very intelligent creatures, and Australia is full of them! Pyndan camels is a great opportunity to meet these clever creatures. We filmed there a few years ago and the owner really cares and has a passion for the camels which is clear to see. Worth a visit if you’re in the Alice area

John Flynn's Grave Historical Reserve

👍👍 Great hike, located 10 mins out of alice springs, this hike wasn't on the top ten places however it was definitely worth it. No cost, medium to hard physical difficulty. There are some parts where there are loose rocks but for the most part it was an easy walk. We went for sunrise, it took us just u...

Alice Springs Golf Club
Golf club
👍👍 Alice Springs Golf Club is desert golf, which means accuracy is a must. The golf course isn’t punishingly long, and not overly difficult. However, a good swirling desert wind could provide a much stiffer challenge than the benign winds that we experienced.
The fairways had beautiful angles and offe...

Central Australian Aviation Museum

😠 Very interesting airplanes and aviation-related knickknacks. The signage needs an overhaul though. This is a direct quote from one of the signs discussing “populating the Outback”:
“…challenges facing the new settlers … the presence and cultural differences of the Australian Aboriginal people. Despi...
