Drive a Hire Car in Alice Springs

Alice Springs is a relatively young town, with the site only discovered by explorers in the mid 19th century. The local Aboriginal people however have lived in the area for over 50,000 years and have left their mark on the land in the form of carvings and paintings in caves and cliff faces. Drive your car rental about a half hour south of town to Ewaninga Rock Carvings Conservation Reserve, where you can see hundreds of rock carvings, estimated as being as much as 30,000 years old.

To get up close and personal with the local desert wildlife, drive your hire car to Alice Springs Desert Park, just a 10 minute drive from town. Here you can see a wide variety of native animals, many of which blend into the desert and you would be vey lucky to see in the wild. Back in town, there are plenty of things to keep visitors busy also, with most focusing on the unique landscape and people of the area. Park your hire car at Todd Mall, near the town centre where you will find local stores and tourist attractions. Be sure to visit the Aboriginal Desert Art gallery, home to many examples of local indigenous art.

One of the most common reasons for visitors coming to Alice Springs is to use it as their base for visiting the world famous natural attractions in the area. South west of the town you will find Kings Canyon, and Uluru. This legendary site should not be missed as you immerse yourself within the colourful landscape. The changing colours of the landscape from the sunrise and sunsets are truly magical as it reflects from the rocks and the clouds in the sky. Having a car rental really does allow you to explore this beautiful country and there are many parking areas for the best viewing locations. As with many attractions in the Northern Territory they are not close to towns or cities, however the return trip can be made in a day with your hire car.
