As the only bricks-and-mortar independent bookshop still standing within 1500kms, Red Kangaroo Books has survived and thrived in the remote town of Alice Springs in central Australia and has been trading for over a decade.

Our mission is to provide the vastest selection of fiction and non-fiction books that encompass the region’s history, arts, flora and fauna, geology and travel.

Unlike the monolingual stereotype of Australia, our store houses an extensive collection of works in a wide range of Aboriginal languages such as Arrernte, Pitjantjatjara, Pintupi-Luritja, Warlpiri and more, from children’s stories to academic texts.We also play a crucial role in supporting teachers in the region, especially those working in small Aboriginal communities far from Alice Springs.
