    Alice Springs Desert Park

    If you haven't managed to glimpse a spangled grunter or a marbled velvet gecko on your travels, head to the Desert Park where the creatures of central Australia are all on display in one place. The predominantly open-air exhibits faithfully recreate the animals' natural environment in a series of habitats: inland river, sand country and woodland.

    Try to time your visit with the terrific birds of prey show, featuring free-flying Australian kestrels, kites and awesome wedge-tailed eagles. Twitchers will also enjoy the dawn bird walkabout where you breakfast with the birds.

    To catch some of the park's rare and elusive animals like the bilby, visit the excellent nocturnal house
