Alice Springs

Situated in Australia’s Red Centre, Alice Springs gets its wonderful warm hues from the minerals in the soil. Due to its remote location (and by remote, we mean smack bang in the middle of Australia’s outback), it’s one of the most spectacular places in Oz to go stargazing. Earth Sanctuary runs astronomy tours and has some epic space camp accommodation options. Come morning, hop in a hot air balloon for a different perspective, and be sure to also explore the nearby West MacDonnell Ranges for world-famous hikes, like the Larapinta Trail.
