Alice Springs - Northern Territory
There is no town in all Australia quite like `The Alice`. Alice Springs
was formerly known as ‘Stuart’ and made famous by several movies
including ‘Priscilla Queen of the Desert’. It’s been a
centre of activity for thousands of years and visitors wishing to wind down
after the excitement of a visit to Uluru/Ayers Rock or an adventure through
the Centre’s 4WD country, you will find Alice Springs the perfect place
to hang your hat for a while.
A traditional outback town, its fascinating heritage traces its history
back to the days of the original Overland Telegraph. Today the Historical
Reserve based around the Old Telegraph Station is the Territory’s finest
existing dedication to this engineering feat.
Tours around Alice Springs vary in length and range from organised tours
with regular departures to personalised itineraries to suit individual needs.
The solo traveller, groups of all sizes and large conferences are catered
for.
