The Alice Springs Desert Park was one of those places where I could get close to some of the animals that live in Central Australia. Among some of the photographs I have snapped during my numerous visits to the desert park, there are many photos of different mammals, marsupials and reptiles that frequent the desert park, as well as those in some of the enclosures, Nocturnal House and at the Nature Theatre. Following are some of my memories…
