Alice
Springs was established by the early explorers
and remains as the centre of activity in this
region. Almost precisely in the geographical
centre of Australia, it is a thriving, modern
community of 28,000 territorians.
The
name Alice Springs derives from a waterhole
located 3km north of the present town which
was names after Alice Todd – wife of Superintendent
of Post and Tepegraph Sir Charles Todd. |
When visiting Alice Springs it is difficult
to overlook the most well-known natural highlights
of Alice Springs, the East and West MacDonnell
Ranges. These magnificent ranges straddle Alice
Springs and run for 223 kilometres, they offer
a spectacular view.

The Alice Springs Area is connected to the caterpillar
dreaming and is part of the territory of the
Aranda people. The area is known by the local
names of Arrende, Yeperenye or Mparntwe. |
The aboriginal presence in Alice Springs is
strong, their 60,000 year old culture and spiritual
connection to this region echoes in every rock
and landmark. They preserve the timeless art,
songs and rituals that connect humankind with
Australia’s legendary creation and pre
history – The Dreamtime.
