    Hi All,

    Just looking for a bit of help, Im flying into Alice Springs in Mid July and I need to get up to Cairns. I have checked flights and it just seems like Quantas do the route and are really expensive:( Has any one got any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Maggie:)

    Hi Maggie,

    I don't know what your budget is but I took the Desert Venturer bus from Cairns to Alice last year and would highly reccomend it.

    Relocation car? A rental car that needs to be returned to a certain location.

    We did that from Darwin to Cairns. Worked out way cheaper and you can normally find other people wanting a lift who are willing to share costs.

    Hiya,

    You could hitch a lift with some other backpackers. Lots of them is Alice, may put up a note in a few of hostels notice boards.

    We drove it a couple of years ago on the way back from Uluru, took 3days but one of those days was a 13hour drive, I selpt well that night :pac:

    Hope you get something sorted, take care
