About
Walk into a taste of the Central Australian desert at the Alice Springs Desert Park, a 'must see' for every visitor t o Alice. The Alice Springs Desert Park presents and interprets the Australian desert environment and its inhabitants, and contributes to the conservation of Australia's desert flora and fauna. Hundreds of species of plants and animals found across the Central Australian deserts can be seen, smelt and heard. Witness free-flying birds of prey in the amphitheater, see rare and endangered animals in the nocturnal house and hear the insights into the interlinking world of plants, animals and Aboriginal culture. The Park site is of significant cultural importance to the local Arrernte people and hence the Desert Park provides a sensitive and realistic insight into Aboriginal culture.
