Alice Springs Desert Park is a world leader in the display and interpretation of the environment and culture. No other facility in the world can combine the plants, animals, people and landscapes of a region as cleverly as this place, creating an interpretive experience that brings the entire desert alive.

Alice Springs Desert Park has three different beautiful habitats, all typical of central Australia, where we have hundreds of species of plants and animals that can be found in the Australian desert. Here you can see them through excellent interpretive displays and daily guided tours.

Come discover the stories of desert plants and animals, as displays and introductions explain how Aboriginal people used animals and plants, how they managed the desert, and how the country has changed since the arrival of Europeans more than 200 years ago.

In the desert rivers habitat, visitors can see an astonishing variety of life due to the reliable water supply provided by this habitat. Photographers go looking for the various different plants and animals in this habitat, which are so diverse that they are unimaginable.

Including aquatic plants, fish and water birds. At the riverside, you can see patches of grass and seed-eating birds that thrive in this habitat. Visitors can also see many young red gum trees (at) in this habitat that has become an important residence for many animals. Visitors can walk through the typical red sand of the Australian outback. In this habitat, visitors can learn how people, animals and plants have developed incredible methods to help them survive in this harsh environment.

Here, try to find plants with thin, waxy coconut palms to help them reduce water loss, and in the Nocturnal Animals House, visitors can see many animals that only come out at night or live in burrows to avoid the daytime heat, and visitors can also see some of the many snakes that can be found in this habitat.

The woodland habitat is the most fertile of the desert habitats in Yunluo and Anqingju, so it is the best place to find bush food and medicinal herbs. It is also home to Australia's largest herbivores - red kangaroos and emus. Unfortunately,

European settlers in central Australia concentrated on these fertile woodlands, causing a sharp decline in the number of trees that support many of the local species of small animals, and even extinction. Some of the animals that survived and are now endangered can be seen in the zoo, which also features some amazing invertebrates and reptiles.

Tour time: When Yunluo consulted the hotel, the hotel manager Sarah Bedell told Yunluo that it usually only takes 2 hours. Later, when Yunluo actually went there, he saw the introduction inside the park, which said that 2 hours is the minimum time and can only provide a quick tour and a taste of the desert park.

And you will inevitably miss some must-see things - such as the nocturnal animal house, the raptor show in the natural open-air theater, the "Heart Transplant" movie in the theater, and the habitat of desert animals - in 2 hours, it is impossible to see all of this, although the park is not actually very large, from the westernmost to the easternmost.

It only takes more than 20 minutes to walk. But there are a lot of things along the way. If you are interested in Australian desert flora and fauna, you will feel that 2 hours is not enough. If you want to visit it more carefully, it will take at least 3 hours, but you can only browse quickly in 3 hours.

Therefore, the ideal visiting time is 4 hours. As expected, Yunluo and An Qingju actually walked down. It really takes at least 4 hours (Yunluo and An Qingju's visiting time is 12:00 noon-4:00 pm). Only in this way can Yunluo and An Qingju carefully appreciate and understand those desert plants and animals, and watch some basic performances in the park.

In addition to the fixed things to visit in the park, there are also some activities and performances. The most not to be missed is the 20-30 minute naturetheatrepresentation (raptor performance in the natural open-air theater) held at 10 am and 3:30 pm. In addition, if you can get up early, there is a survival show of the natives in the desert (about 45 minutes), and a guided tour of nocturnal animals in the nocturnal animal exhibition room at 10:30. Unfortunately, Yunluo and An Qingju could not get up because they went to bed in the early morning of the day.

So they could only take the car they came to pick up at 11:30. To pick up Yunluo and An Qingju to the Desert Park, the return trip, according to their schedule, was to depart from the Desert Park at 4:30 pm and return to Yunluo and An Qingju's hotel at about 4:45, but Yunluo and An Qingju's train from Alice Springs today was to depart at 6:00 pm. <,So after negotiation, the driver and the two young people from Germany who were on the same bus finally agreed to change the bus from the Desert Park to depart at 4:15. Yunluo found that the foreigners were really sympathetic to Dali. When going out, I don't know what difficulties I will encounter. I am very grateful to the kind people I met along the way.

So if you have time, you must go and watch it. The showtimes on this day are: 8:00, 9:00, 10:15, 11:00, 12:00, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 5:00.

There are at least eight guided tours every day at various locations in the park. When visitors arrive, they can get a daily program at the place where they buy their tickets. These themes may change every day.

Finally, I saw the tall tree with shiny silvery-white bark that the children saw in Perth, the first city Yunluo and An Qingjue arrived at. At that time, the children called it the Pearl Cat Tree (it was the cat in the cartoon that had its bark tragically peeled off, so it was called the Pearl Cat because it was completely bald).

According to the introduction on the sign, it is the most widely distributed tree species in Australia:

Entering the Kangaroo Park, the kangaroos here are in a semi-natural free-range state, so they are much more alert than the kangaroos that Yunluo and An Qingju can feed in the Perth Zoo, but they are also more energetic and a little afraid of people. When Yunluo and An Qingju get closer, they will jump away: Continue to visit the desert park:

Watch the highlight of the desert park, the bird training show starting at 3:30. Here, Yunluo and An Qingjue met tourists getting off the Khan train, which only stays in Alice Springs for a few hours.

During these few hours, some passengers were organized to take a city tour of Alice Springs, and the desert park only stayed for a short time. During this short time, this bird training show was also a must-see item:

The taxi that had been booked a long time ago to pick up Yunluo and An Qingjue at 4:30, somehow, forgot to show up that day. As a result, when they waited until 4:40, there was still no sign of the taxi. They could only ask the hotel manager to call again, but it turned out that the dispatcher had forgotten about it.

After 45 minutes, a taxi came to pick up Yunluo and An Qingjue. This is another photo of the hotel entrance taken by Yunluo opposite the hotel entrance while he was waiting for the taxi:

Finally they arrived at the train station on time at 5 o'clock. On the platform they met a Chinese girl who was the platform staff. She told Yunluo and An Qingjue in their long-lost Mandarin that it didn't matter if they arrived as late as 5:20, because after 5:20, the luggage would be loaded onto the train.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Later, Yunluo and An Qingjue saw that, perhaps because there were not enough people, the little girl also helped to carry the luggage onto the train. It was a pity that Yunluo did not take a photo.

While waiting for the train at this station, they met the young man who was on the same train with Yunluo and An Qingjue from Adelaide to Alice Springs. He arrived later than Yunluo and An Qingjue.

Yunluo saw that he was carrying a folding bicycle with him this time, which might be what he brought from Adelaide, because he arrived late this time and couldn't check it in. He also recognized Yunluo, and asked Yunluo to help him look after his luggage while he went to the bathroom.

On the train, I met a mother with two smart and lively little girls. Later in the conversation, she asked Yunluo and An Qingju if they were from Japan. (To be continued...)
