Alice Springs is home to the tourist attraction, Desert Park. This is a NT Government run worldclass facility. It showcases the huge variety of flora and fauna and landscapes within the arid heart of Australia. The bird enclosures were fantastic and we have actually seen many of these birds in the wild.
