Passion for This Land: In Love with the Red Centre
Kirsty instantly fell for the Red Centre upon arriving in Alice Springs six years ago to train to be a tour guide, leading her to establish her own little company, Red Earth Roaming.
"With my passion for science and nature, this semi-arid oasis offers endless discovery and adventure," says Kirsty.
"I get to sleep under a blanket of stars in my comfortable swag, hike through rugged ranges to discover hidden gems and, best of all, share these incredible adventures with visitors from around the world!"
Recently, Kirsty's company and many others face a growing challenge: widespread misconceptions about crime in Alice Springs.
"The situation is being misrepresented," she explains.
"Youth rebellion and petty crimes like car theft and break-ins have increased Australia wide, not just in Alice Springs, and these issues have no effect on tourists here at all. Unfortunately, negative media coverage is now deterring visitors from experiencing the remarkable wonders the Red Centre has to offer."
Her passion for the region remains unwavering.
"My dream is to help people connect with this wild land and develop a deeper understanding of its nature, geology, and ancient indigenous culture. You can only truly grasp the Red Centre's magic by visiting and learning its incredible story firsthand. I strongly encourage reconsidering a trip here to experience its unique beauty and rich heritage."
