3 . THE SCHOOL OF THE AIR
If you are travelling with children , then attending the Alice Springs School of the Air is in order . The school began operating in mid-1951 , starting with oneway radios and then two-way radios , always advancing with technology to the current use of satellites , to conduct classes to students in remote areas including stations and Aboriginal communities .
4 . ALICE SPRINGS DESERT PARK
The Alice Springs Desert Park is the easiest way to have instant access to the flora and fauna of the region . The developed part of the park sprawls over 52 hectares and features woodland , sand country and desert rivers , with numerous exhibits highlighting the glorious animals that live here . The river aviary throbs with zebra finches and budgerigars ; you may also see a grebe floating on the surface of a pond with stilts foraging on the shoreline . The desert aviary is home to red-capped robins and princess parrots . As you wander , watch for enclosures with bustards , dingoes , red kangaroos and emus . The Birds of Prey show features raptors brought into the park after being injured . They are now ambassadors for their species . The Nocturnal House is wonderful , and includes a number of delightful bilbies .
