Farm experiences in Red Centre

The Red Centre — Central Australia around Alice Springs and out towards Kings Canyon and Uluru — is remote desert cattle-station country with a few genuinely unique farm experiences. Curtin Springs Station, on the way to Uluru, is famous for making paper from the native grasses on its land and offers station tours; Kings Creek Station near Kings Canyon runs camel and property tours; and Athelle Outback Hideaway north of Alice offers an outback stay with animals.

These are booked experiences on vast, working desert stations, best visited in the cooler months. Distances are enormous and conditions extreme, so plan carefully and confirm access and availability before you set out.

Frequently asked questions

What can you do on a Red Centre station?

Curtin Springs Station offers station tours and its well-known paper-making from native grasses, Kings Creek Station near Kings Canyon runs camel and property tours, and Athelle Outback Hideaway offers an outback stay with animals. All are booked experiences on working desert properties.

When is the best time to visit the Red Centre?

The cooler months, roughly April to September, are the main season in Central Australia — summers are extremely hot. Confirm that a station is open and that roads and tours are running before you travel, as conditions can change quickly.

How remote are the Red Centre stations?

Very remote. These properties lie hundreds of kilometres from Alice Springs across the desert, on long roads that are sometimes unsealed. Carry water and supplies, plan your fuel, and check road and station conditions before you set out.
