ALICE SPRINGS DESERT PARK

This 50 hectare park set within the McDonnell Ranges contains a group of manufactured miniature desert ecosystems. The aim of the design is to enhance the visitor’s appreciation of this arid landscape. Three main habitats are created, these include: riverine areas, sand country and woodlands. Within a half day visitors can learn much about arid areas which would otherwise take them days or weeks of travel.
