Alice Springs, Northern Territory Video

Find more information about Uluru (Ayers rock) at www.australiasoutback.com Towering 348 metres above the red desert earth in the heart of Australia's Outback, Uluru (Ayers Rock) is possibly Australia's most recognised and most visited icon. The monolith is best experienced on foot, which allows you to get up close and personal to its weathered surface and learn the significance of its sacred Aboriginal sites. A complete lap is 9 kilometres. The rock changes its hues gradually with both the arrival and departure of the sun, transforming from its rich, red ochre evening dress to its terracotta daywear, making sunrise and sunset the most popular viewing times. Join a group tour or take the scenic Red Centre Way tourist drive from Alice Springs, but be sure to stop at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre.

Alice Springs is the largest community in the Outback, surrounded by a sea of red sand that is the size of Europe. To the south it is lapped by the Simpson Desert and to the west, the Tanami Desert. The location sets the scene for some real Territory-style adventure, including quad biking sand dunes, camel rides from dawn to dusk and mountain biking. This area is also the Aboriginal art capital of Australia, much of which is inspired by the desert surroundings.

Flight is over the Simpson Desert and you see good pics of the long red sand dunes from the air. Had to land on the short runway at Alice due to departing jet traffic on the main runway.

It's Our Territory - Northern Territory Australia (NT). The Northern Territory is a federal territory of Australia, occupying much of the center of the mainland continent, as well as the central northern regions. It shares borders with Western Australia to the west, South Australia to the south, and Queensland to the east. To the north, the territory is bordered by the Timor Sea, the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria. Despite its large area, over 1349129 square kilometres (520902 sq mi) - making it the third largest Australian federal division - it is sparsely populated. With a population of 215000, it is the least populous division in the country. The history of the Northern Territory began over 40000 years ago when Indigenous Australians settled the region. Makassan traders began trading with the indigenous people of the Northern Territory for trepang from at least the 18th century onwards, and possibly for 300 years prior to that, while the coast of the Territory was first seen by Europeans in the 17th century. The British were the first to attempt to settle the coastal regions of the Territory in the 19th century; however no attempt was successful until the establishment of a settlement at Port Darwin in 1869. Today the economy is based on tourism, especially Kakadu National Park in the Top End and the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in <b>...</b>

1.38 min. | 4.42 user rating		 The idea of a day's work becomes so much more palatable when you wake up to a landscape awash with vivid reds, coppers and terracottas, muted sages and lavenders and dramatic blues that blend together to create the MacDonnell Ranges. Vincent De Bievre left the Belgian capital of Brussels, a seething mass of traffic and people in ancient laneways and streets and found himself amidst a vast open space, surrounded by silence. Working at Glen Helen Resort in the West MacDonnell Ranges near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, Vincent loves the fact that the nearest city is more than 1000km away. When he's not working at the resort, he explores the spectacular ranges nearby. Join Vincent at Glen Helen and Ormiston Gorges then follow him on a camping trip in the heart of Australia's Outback. You will long for your own campfire, a star-spattered sky and an obligation to simply sit back, relax and listen to the vastness of the world around you.
