Living in Alice Springs has the distinct advantage of being very close to nature. It literally invades your backyard. And, should you chose to venture out into the heat, you don't have to go far to find spectacular scenery and wildlife. Even when the temperatures have driven all the mammals into hiding, birds are still relatively easy to find.

Plantlife springs into existence where there was only sand and rock before. Birds and other wildlife are draw to the water and the succulent new growth and the whole area bustles with life and activity.
