Red Centre

Desert heart, Australia

The Red Centre is the arid interior of Australia, named for its distinctive rust-colored soil and rock formations.

The region includes Uluru, Alice Springs, and surrounding desert landscapes: We spent a week exploring the Red Centre.

The term evokes remoteness and the iconic ochre tones of the Australian outback.
