Alice Springs

I'm in the Northern Territory working with Travel Freedom on two tours; Mulgas Adventures and Emu Run Experiences. Both have been fun and affordable products that showcase the best of this destination quickly and affordably. Our guide Chris has been one of many guides I've had in this part of the world but he's shown me heaps of new spots, taught me things I didn't know AND he dug up witchetty grubs for those brave enough to try them! 😱😱😱

Booked a room in Block 5, the newest rooms. Lift was out of service, had to use fire stairs. Hallways were filthy on L1 and L2, rubbish, leaf litter etc. Room stank like sewer. Access to gym is good, nice pool but overall, poor standard.

I asked for ground floor, near pool if possible and quiet. I was allocated room 207. The night was very quiet. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was extremely comfortable and enjoyed a great nights sleep. Dinner was quick as a flash. The only negative was my not so cold JD RTD for $13.70. ...

The Ghan makes a 3,000km journey from Darwin to Adelaide, with the mighty wheels kicking up the red dirt of the Australian Outback as it travels straight down the middle of the country. It's a once in a lifetime journey, but it pays to be prepared. My tip for any visit to the Outback is to invest in a fly net for your head and shoes you don't mind coming home covered in red dust! #LifeatExpedia

Alice Springs CBD

If you're spending some time in Alice Springs CBD, Todd Mall and Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime Gallery are top sights worth seeing.
