By Red Centre standards, Alice Springs<\/a> is a sprawling metropolis. By any other standards in the world, it\u2019s a small town of about 28,000 people, smack bang in the middle of nowhere. Some love it, some hate it, but most people who travel through the Outback will have to deal with it at some point. It\u2019s best to just acknowledge \u2018The Alice\u2019 for what it is, not what it could<\/em> be. For one thing, it\u2019s not \u2018next door\u2019 to Uluru. Uluru is actually 463km away (a fact that bamboozles many new arrivals). The town is also hot, dusty and (in some areas) struggling with poverty and other socio-economic issues.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s best to see The Alice as a launching pad. Enjoy the good bits (the wonderful galleries, aboriginal cultural, excellent pubs) and then head out into the wide blue yonder. So if you\u2019re flying into Australia\u2019s hottest town (temperature wise, at least) these are the small group trips to look for:<\/p>\n
