A town nestling in the heart of the Australian continent, Alice Springs was born from an abortive gold rush. Nowadays, it's the departure point for visits to Ayers Rock.

My suggestion

Avoid the town during the Australian summer (December to March) when the stifling temperatures prevent you from really enjoying the splendour of the surrounding countryside.

One of the most isolated towns in Australia, located in the centre of the country in the heart of Aboriginal culture.

My suggestion

Alice Springs is not a very safe place at night, if you're a woman then avoid walking or going back to your hotel alone.

David Debrincat

30 km to the south of Stuart Highway, which crosses Australia from end to end, Alice Springs seems to be completely alone in the vast Red Centre.

My suggestion

From May to August, there are a great number festivals organised in Alice Springs.

Kangaroo Island: a feeling of freedom on an island of outstanding natural beauty

Take a car and abandon yourself to the feeling of freedom in the heart of the Kangaroo Island wilderness. On the road, you will encounter wallabies, kangaroos, koalas, sea lions or penguins. You will discover the unique rock formations, fabulous national parks and the beaches that are tucked away out of sight.

Road trip from Perth to Esperance

A road trip through Australia is the best way to discover this unique country and its unusual landscapes. From Perth to Esperance, let yourself be captivated by the beaches with their turquoise water, wind-sculpted rocks and forests of giant trees, not to mention the opportunity to taste the best wines of Australia in the region of Margaret River.

Hiking in Tasmania or Into the Wild

Listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, the wild nature of Tasmania promises beautiful hikes with breathtaking scenery. From Freycinet National Park to Lake Saint Clair-Cradle Mountain, not to mention Liffey Falls, it is a feast for the eyes (if not for the feet).

Broome and Purnululu National Park

One of the most remote parts of Australia, the Kimberley, is located in the north of Western Australia. First of all there is Broome, the pearl of this wild state. And then there are its savanna landscapes and national parks of breathtaking beauty. The Kimberley is a succession of picture postcards which can only be discovered by 4WD during the dry season.
