Is Alice Springs an arid region?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Alice Springs is definitely not rainforest. It's actually in central Australia, a desert region also known as the "Red Centre", so named for the red soil of this arid area.

The Australian rainforests are found in pockets right along the eastern coast, from far north Queensland right down to the island state of Tasmania.

What is The total distance traveled in a time interval?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

  1. The equation is:

    Distance = Rate X Time

    To simplify, if we are given the rate at which someone is traveling and the time it takes to travel, we can then calculate the total distance traveled.

  2. Step 2

    Consider the following. A car travels at 60mph and drives for 2 hours. We need to calculate the distance the car traveled.

    Distance = Rate X Time
    Distance = 60mph X 2 hours
    Distance = 120 miles

Has it snowed at Ayers Rock?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Snow in Alice Spring is extremely rare. Since European settlement, there have been a few cases recorded of blowing snowflakes, but only 4 occurrences of snow on the ground in any real quantity. All these cases occurred during the icy winter of 1836.

T.A Browne (better known as Rolf Boldrewood, author of "Robbery Under Arms") kept weather observations during this period and noted that "the years 1836, 1837 and 1838 were years of drought, and in one of these years (1836) a remarkable thing happened. There was a fall of snow; we made snowballs at Alice Spring and enjoyed the usual schoolboy amusements therewith".

The Alice Spring Herald reported on the same incident headed "A Stranger"

"For the first time in the memory of the oldest inhabitants, snow fell in Alice Spring on the morning of Tuesday last. (27 June 1836)

About 7 O'clock in the morning, a drifting fall covered the streets nearly one inch in depth. Some of the "old hands" expressed a hope that their old acquaintances Messrs. Frost and Snow do not intend emigrating to NSW".

this record is not up to date because it has snowed in Alice Spring 1n the 1960s

What is the best month to visit Australia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Airlines have the lowest prices on coach class seats when the flight schedules are first announced. For US-based airlines, this is about 10 months before the date of travel. Qantas, the Australian airline, releases its schedules about a year in advance.

However, with the entry this year of VAustralia and Delta as air carriers to Australia and the economic "downturn" in travel, there have been many airfare sales on flights to Australia. The lowest "published air" prices have been considerably higher than an airfare special that may promote a specific destination or flights during a specific time of year.

There's no guaranty that the airfare sales will continue into 2010, but VAustralia is actively promoting its flights to Australia - and Qantas has been trying to keep pace with the sales.

Depending on where you plan to visit in Australia, your best airfare purchase may be a Qantas Aussie AirPass, which allows for between 3-4 (depending on the current special) "free" flights to destinations within Australia for the cost of the international (non-sale priced) airfare. The cost of an AirPass does not change; the best time to puchase it is as soon as you have planned where you want to go.

For only one or two destinations, or if you're looking for a really low price, the best time to purchase your tickets is during a sale. The pricing for each new sale has been higher than it was for the previous sale, and only a small number of seats on each flight are allocated to sale prices. If you have specific dates you must travel, you may be forced to pay more if you wait too long.

Finding the lowest priced airfare is often a bit like playing roulette - unfortunately, there are no guarantees.

Do American need visa to come to Australia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Technically no; an Electronic Travel Authorization in addition to your US passport is sufficient (and significantly cheaper, at $20 AUS vs. $130 AUS for a visa).

However, you do have to have either the ETA or a visa. The passport alone is NOT sufficient.
