Alice Springs

A rural, historic town in the Northern Territory of Australia, Alice Springs is a well-known gateway for travelers seeking to explore the country's interior desert region, the Red Centre. As far back as 1872, this town served as a link between Darwin and Adelaide in the Overland Telegraph Line; visitors can see old buildings and equipment from this time period, preserved for decades at the Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve. Although, while it has a quaint environment and historically rich backstory, Alice Springs also boasts a booming Indigenous art scene and urban culture. Close by are the West MacDonnell Ranges, giving the traveler sights of vibrant oranges, greens and blues.
