You may wonder why it’s called the Red Centre but this becomes clear the moment you see the red-ochre dust that covers this otherworldly landscape. Other popular places to visit include Kata Tjuta, incredible Kings Canyon and the outback town of Alice Springs and many choose to drive between them along the adventurous Red Centre Way. A visit to the Red Centre is simply a must for every visitor to Australia.
