Alice Town And Country Half Day Sunset Tour - Small Group

Here is the starting point

Araluen Arts Centre

Your first visit is to Araluen Arts Centre. You will get an excellent opportunity to get a closer look at Albert Namatjira's arts, learn about unique natural history, follow the evolution of the landscape and fascinating creatures, and explore the panoramic landscapes of the West MacDonnell Ranges. The Araluen Arts Centre aims to develop a collection of artworks that reflect a permanent record of art practice in Central Australia. Araluen Arts Centre holds a comprehensive collection of paintings by Albert Namatjira.

Alice Springs School Of The Air Visitor Centre

• Your next visit will be to Alice Springs School of the Air Experience. The Visitor Centre brings to life an integral and unique facet of the children’s lives in the Australian Outback. It offers travellers the opportunity to learn about the history of 'The World's Largest Classroom', reveal stories about the school from afar and life on the land, and share in Outback students' dreams, achievements, and journeys.
• The experience includes a film, a guided presentation about our unique history, and the ground-breaking techniques that make it possible for our remote students to participate in school classes despite time, distance, and isolation challenges. You might even be able to observe a teacher conducting a live lesson in one of our five broadcasting studios right before you! However, at certain times, live lessons will be replaced with pre-recorded lessons.

Royal Flying Doctor Service Museum

our next exciting place is Royal Flying Doctor Service Alice Springs Tour Facility. See, experience and learn through the wonder of technology the heroic tales of the birth and growth of the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Learn about the history and the activities of the RFDS’s pilots, engineers, doctors and nurses, and the experiences of the patients that are carried and cared for each day. Learn the importance of the RFDS to outback Australians and the medical care required to service isolated regions.

The Emily and Jessie Gaps Nature Park

• Your next stop will be Pack a picnic, watch the local wildlife, or follow a short walking track into Emily and Jessie gaps.
• The two small gaps in the Heavitree Range are important spiritual sites to the Eastern Arrernte Aboriginal people. Many places in the surrounding landscape are associated with the same caterpillar Dreamtime story, and form a 'Dreaming Trail'.
• Emily Gap is a significant sacred site where the caterpillar beings of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) originated. These caterpillars formed Emily Gap, and many of the topographic features around Alice Springs radiated out to the edge of the Simpson Desert. At Emily Gap, you can see a large rock painting depicting the caterpillar dreaming.

Anzac Hill

Our last visit of the day is at Anzac Hill, where you will be able to take in panoramic views over the town of Alice Springs and the surrounding MacDonnell ranges. You may be able to capture one photo to cover the entire town. You will enjoy the sunset. Anzac Hill is a memorial dedicated to those who served in Australia’s defence forces during all international wars.
