Alice Springs
Tourist information - Alice Springs
Alice Springs is a town in the Northern Territory, in central Australia. Formerly known as Stuart after the explorer John McDouall Stuart, it is today a transportation and commercial center for the surrounding livestock and mining region. Tourism is an important feature of the area. Alice Springs is one of the few centers of population in Australia's vast, arid outback region. The town was founded in 1871 and today, despite its seeming isolation the people of Alice Springs enjoy a range of quality facilities comparable to any town of similar size in Australia.
