Alice Springs City Tour | The "heart" of the Australian Outback | Australia

[@LangUtilSpanish]

So glad you left the crow shot in. It reminded me of when we are getting the perfect shot and our dog starts barking.

[@IfWeGoTo]

LOL! The animals just want their second in the spotlight! Hope you're doing well!

[@gayleswellness2225]

I lived in Alice Springs for a year back in the 80s. It looks like it hasn’t changed a lot since then. Summers are hot, we didn’t have AC but had water coolers. There were a lot of those little kangaroos around and we often saw camels walking by on a sort of trail ride. Those birds were always around and loud. They would fly into our large front window and die. Todd st was open for cars then. It was definitely a good experience and I would love to go back.

[@IfWeGoTo]

That is amazing that you got to be there back in the 80s! We were there in Spring and it was unbearably hot, I can only imagine what summer is like! Thanks for watching and your comment! I really hope you get to make it back out there soon. There's nowhere quite like it!

[@77LHorn]

We lived there back in the early 70's and it definitely was a small town then.

[@IfWeGoTo]

Wow!! I believe it!! It felt tiny nowadays! Can't imagine back then!

[@jeremyrobison9659]

That painting you got was pretty incredible! I would hang that in my house! It is always a really cool experience to get it straight from the artist themselves and to be able to talk to them and hear their stories and hear about their inspirations!

[@IfWeGoTo]

I don't have a house yet, but that is the plan!! :D Exactly... we didn't get to chat much, the person we bought it from was a VERY pushy salesperson, but we wanted to directly support the artist!

[@followthesun4510]

Great that you could find civilization in the middle of the outback! That town looks really pretty :)

This place looks like it could be a movie location!!!! I love the art piece.

[@IfWeGoTo]

Right!! I think people liken it to Mad Max a lot, not sure where that was actually filmed but I imagine a desert! lol Me too! Aboriginal art is so cool & unique!

[@IfWeGoTo]

@@danielgroves6701 Oh so the first one was filmed in Australia?? Ill have to watch it again sometime, havent seen it since I was a kid lol

[@ferfalla17]

well a few movies were filmed in Alice, also there is a Netflix show that is filmed outside Alice, it's call Pine Gap, aslo the legendary movie "Priscila queen of the dessert" it set in Alice Springs.

[@IfWeGoTo]

We haven’t seen pine gap!! Definitely will check it out, thank you! Love Priscilla Queen of the Desert though, I think it’s part of what made me (Brandi) want to go! It really showcases the vastness of the desert there!

We’re both biologists and usually have some success with it where we visit. Not there… lol. maybe it was the time of year? Or the time of day? We had to stay on California hours which meant we had to be asleep 4pm-midnight daily… which limited our evening experiences as well as side trips. 😔 If you have any tips for when we head back, we’re all ears.. Cause we drove out in the early morning hours to look on the roads for reptiles, visited a bunch of gorges and water holes, the ilparpa clay pans at day break after a storm, drove all of the way out to Uluru and back, visited multiple closer national parks, usually at day break… went hiking way more than normal people would in 40+ degree weather.

You shouldn’t film Aboriginal people, you should take that bit out.

[@IfWeGoTo]

Definitely appreciate you looking out for people! We did ask if the camera was ok when we purchased her art moments later… she did say it was ok. I think this courtesy is in place to avoid cultural misrepresentation or exploitation of the Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander people. And of course certain cultural activities and heritage sites shouldn’t be recorded (Notice we didn’t include things like the rock art at Emily Gap) I don’t believe this is exploitation or misrepresentation though. I think if anything that it supports them because we explain how to find & buy art from the actual artists rather than the art shops which can take huge cuts from them. If there’s a reason that this should be removed that I’m missing though… let me know. We don’t mean any disrespect.

@@IfWeGoTo Just be aware that while it's fine to film them with their permission, you should always include a caption at the start of the video warning viewers that your footage includes an Indigenous Australian who may have no longer be alive.

Thank you for informing me in a helpful and constructive way. This really helps us understand why it’s an issue. Unfortunately we can’t add the warning after posting it, but do you think we should edit that section showing her out?? We definitely don’t want to be disrespectful.

@@IfWeGoTo I think it's fine and understandable. You couldn't have known. Leave it as it is unless you're asked to change it by an Indigenous viewer.

It's so weird to me seeing spots like that in the middle of the desert, like Im just thinking, "How did you even build that place there?" I like how it looks, but Im guessing its not too safe, as when I searched this, many of the top videos were about crime and such...🥲

[@IfWeGoTo]

Right!! It’s really incredible that people developed there! Tbh, from posting this and the comments I have received on this video (that I have deleted because they were horrible), I think some people are racist and prejudiced towards aboriginal Australians… and because a large population of them live in Alice Springs, people have just dragged it through the mud. We stayed an entire month and didn’t have a single moment where we felt unsafe. That’s not to say you shouldn’t be cautious, like with anywhere, but I do think people are a bit off when they say it’s extremely dangerous. We didn’t stay out late at night or go to bars or anything, but for nature and hiking we hardly even ran into other people. But we thought it was a beautiful area for its nature… if you want to see it, go!
