 Thorny Devil by windsorgirl Most people fly into Alice Springs, and do a quick trip out to Ayers Rock and the Olgas. I recommend one of the 5 day camping tours that will also visit Kings Canyon, Palm Valley, Finke Gorge and Ormiston Gorge. I travelled with Sahara Tours, it was a small group of 12, in a small bus. We spent most of our time off the beaten track and away from all the tourists. The camps were very luxurious. Our guide was great at taking the time to point out interesting flora and fauna like the Thorny Devil pictured here. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 camper by BiancaVDH One of the best ways to explore the NT is by campervan. You have freedom and still the luxury of having your own bed/kitchen etc. We rented our van at NQ Rentals, they have a station in Darwin. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

by richiecdisc We took the Ghan to Alice Springs from Adelaide. We really lucked out as the man who made our reservations stuffed up our tickets and later when it was learned it was full, they gave us first class at a much reduced price. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Just to let you know, expect wear and tear, we destroyed a car in NT, and had to get rid of it when we reached WA (thats a whole other story!). The fuel prices rocket in the outback townships, Hellsgate Roadhouse especially is 3 times the price of the city. And if you get a flat, you have to pay whatever they charge you. Just be careful, the coorogated roads are designed to give grip to the road-trains, but for a stndard car they can destroy the engine. Theme: Car/Motor Home

The government of the Northern Territory offers information on road conditions and road work in progress on a well updated but simple webpage. Have a look onto this site before planning your trip around NT. Leave a Comment

The train service from Adelaide (South Australia) to Darwin (Northern territory) runs daily and stops only occasionally on its 3000km trip north (or south). One of those stops is Alice Springs. We say that "The Alice" is the "dead centre" of Australia - partly because it's really in the "centre" of Australia and also because, if you disregard the temperature variations, you're "dead". Many enter The Alice by conducted or private coaches, many by 'thumbing" a lift. Some may even drive the 3,000 km to get there. If you're lucky, you can fly in from most capital cities.

 on the road with AAT Kings by WStat I used " AAT-Kings", a Bus-Company doing daily tours from Uluru to A.Springs to many other destinations in N.Territory. It was easy and comfortable, booking via Internet/Mail no problem. Have a look at http://www.aatkings.com/eu/ Good Luck! Leave a Comment
