ALICE SPRINGS
Alice Springs is a must-see destination. Set on the banks of the usually-dry Todd River, the modern town is well equipped with a wide range of facilities, attractions and accommodation.
Travellers can enjoy the view from Anzac Hill, browse the Alice Springs Cultural Precinct, learn about the hardships of the pioneers at the Alice Springs Telegraph Station or the Royal Flying Doctor Service, meet rare and endangered wildlife at Alice Springs Desert Park or tee-off on one of the best desert golf courses in the world.
A range of quirky events also provide entertainment - cheer at the Camel Cup, see the hilarious ASSA ABLOY Henley-on-Todd (a ‘boat’ race on the dry Todd River), or road test one of 3000 beanies at the Alice Springs Beanie Festival.
The MacDonnell Ranges straddle the town, and the spectacular West MacDonnell National Park is home to many amazing natural attractions, such as Ellery Creek Big Hole, Trephina Gorge Nature Park, Simpsons Gap, the Ochre Pits and Standley Chasm.
