Alice Springs Desert Park

Located about 3 kilometres from the centre of Alice Springs, this park is a place where you can see a wide variety of the flora and fauna of Central Australia in one place. You can admire several species of birds, kangaroos, and emus. Lizards, snakes and arachnids can also be seen, in houses. I particularly enjoyed the room devoted to nocturnal mammals, including some rare specimens like the ghost bat. There are scheduled exhibitions of free-flying birds of prey and demonstrations of Aboriginal tools and techniques. There's also a series of audio guides available, and a souvenir shop.
