At the very heart of Australia lies the historic town of Alice Springs. Because of its remoteness, more than 1200km from both Darwin and Adelaide, its large numbers of Aboriginal people and its frontier ambience, Alice retains a special place in the Australian psyche.
The surrounding MacDonnell Ranges are not as well-known as Uluru, 462km to the west, but they are a haven of rock holes, gorges and parks with hundreds of camping, walking, swimming and picnic spots. A major tourist town, Alice Springs makes a great touring base and a diverse and fascinating destination on its own.
You can see the original Alice spring (really a soak) which is still there - the permanent waterhole that clinched the location of the Overland Telegraph Station in the 1870s.
Alice Springs Airport is a modern fully air conditioned terminal located 14 kilometres to the south of the township of Alice Springs with a range of services and facilities available to visitors to the airport. ASA provides facilities for domestic and regional passenger airlines and for general aviation and helicopter traffic. It operates curfew free 24hrs a day.
Things to do while you are visiting Alice Springs include taking in the beauty of Chambers Pillar Historical Reserve, enjoy the excitement of a guided tour’s on the back of a camel, check out Rainbow Park for Aboriginal heritage, paintings and artifacts or fly in a balloon across the MacDonnell Ranges at sunrise.Photos
