Alice Springs

Spectacular views surround Australia’s most famous Outback town, Alice Springs. The city is set in the MacDonnell Ranges, where cavernous gorges and rocky ledges create stunning landscapes. To the south, the multi-coloured sandstone bluffs of Rainbow Valley in the Simpson Desert create a different, but still beautiful, scene.

Early explorers searched the desert around Alice Springs for rubies and gold. Visitors can view the vastness of the desert on helicopter tours with experienced, knowledgeable pilots. The tours fly over Simpson’s Gap and Standley Chasm, and along the Hale and Todd Rivers, where you can find cheap hotel accommodation, like Alice Springs Resort, which is convenient five minute walk from the town’s attractions, shops and businesses.

Alice Springs was established by Europeans as a repeater station along the overland telegraph line in 1872. The Alice Springs Telegraph Station has been restored as a historical attraction. The original building now houses furnishings and artefacts from the early 1900s.

In the Old Alice Springs Gaol, native women make beanies and weave baskets. Each day they prepare a traditional bush tucker (a meal) of damper (bread), kangaroo tail and billy tea. The Alice Springs Cultural Precinct features cultural and historical visual and performing arts.

Several discount hotels are located close to the restaurants, shops and attractions, including an 18-hole golf course. This is where you will find greatest Alice Springs accommodation, staying at Crowne Plaza Alice Springs, which has all the styling and elegance of a first class resort.
