After #GLAadventure's fantastic experience at the Uluru national park, it was time to discover other famous things in Australia's outback. On the schedule is a visit to Alice Springs Desert Park and Old Ghan Heritage Railway museum.

Tips for the travellers: If you can spend only one day in Alice Springs, make it a day at the Desert Park. You can thank team #GLAadventure later.
The Alice Springs Desert Park is like a botanical garden, a zoo, a centre for Aboriginal culture and an environmental conservation institute, all rolled into one.
This park is also home to native animals of central Australian desert environment. It contributes to their conservation through research programs as well as through public education.
#GLAadventure's recommendation: Want to spend a day relaxing? There's nothing better than the Alice Springs Desert Park.
The Old Ghan Heritage Railway is located at MacDonnell Siding, 10km south of Alice Springs, here there is a 1930s-style railway station built from the plans originally intended for Stuart (Alice Springs). The display area includes the station, museum, souvenir shop, tea rooms and restored locomotives and carriages. It's an amazing place with great history!
