Seconded, also the RTHoF, but mind the sus volunteer crew there. Hogarthde from this site is up there.

The bird show's well worth the effort.

We caught up with David and his wife when they were in Darwin, he said he was slowly headed south , looks like he was telling the truth if they are only in Alice.

Who me?😀
There are a number of pretty spots as well as those already mentioned.
Glen Helen for a counter lunch and cold refreshment.
I think Palm Valley is a suitable day tour but it is a full day and IMO well worth it.
I would suggest a visit to Trephina Gorge and Arltunga (early gold mine) in the East Macdonnells and the popular Standley Chasm.
Happy to show you around my workplace if interested.
I've PMed you my details if you want to contact me.
