Alice Springs Photos

Join me on my sun‑baked coach journey through the heart of the Northern Territory. These photos capture the quiet drama of red desert highways, curious emus at Erldunda, the flat silhouette of Mount Conner, the calm lookout from ANZAC Hill, and the small but moving exhibits of the Flying Doctor.

Mount Conner sits on a private cattle station (Curtin Springs Station), so you can’t climb it, but you can view it from the Lasseter Highway or on a guided tour.
