Lifestyle and Community

Central Australia is the spiritual and physical heart of Australia. Located in the centre of the country, it is a unique and captivating place. Central Australia is a place of unparalleled natural beauty and rich Aboriginal culture. Home to iconic landmarks such as the East and West MacDonnell Ranges, Finke Gorge, Uluru, Kings Canyon, and Watarrka National Park, the region offers a unique blend of stunning landscapes and diverse cultural experiences.

Beyond the well-known landmarks, Central Australia is also home to incredible artistic and cultural attractions. The Outback Way Outdoor Gallery, located along the Plenty Highway (150–260 km from Alice Springs), brings art into the vast desert landscape, providing a truly unique gallery experience.
