The best way to get from the centre of Darwin to Darwin Airport is to drive there, as you, unfortunately, won’t find any public transport network that covers this route.

The same situation prevails in Alice Springs, which is an even smaller Northern Territory town. After flights from Darwin to Alice Springs touch down, you will either have to hire a car at the airport or catch a taxi to get to the downtown area. This journey will only take about 15min along Roger Vale Road, travelling beside the Todd River. Jayride town cars operate here as well. You’ll easily be able to find safe on-street parking in the town if you’ve decided on a hire car, you just need to organise a permit from the local Council Rangers. Which cities can you get to from Alice Springs airport? Flights from Darwin to Alice Springs will place you in the heart of rural Northern Australia. It’s a really remote town, so there aren’t many major cities anywhere nearby. What it does offer is the chance to explore the great Australian Outback on a few road trips. We recommend you hire a car as you won’t always be able to find inter-town public transport. The other most well-known Outback town to visit is Uluru, which is 4h and 45min away by car. A bit closer by to the west is the smaller town of Petermann, which you can reach in just under 3h and 20min. You can also travel further north to Anmatjere, a little oasis of a town on the Hanson River. You can catch the Gx880 bus there via Ti Tree, a journey of about 3h and 40min.
