Alice Springs is the heart of Central Australia and is comprised of cavernous gorges, boundless desert landscapes, remote Aboriginal communities and a charming pioneering history. It embodies the hardy outback of the Northern Territory's Red Centre, and is a travel hub for sights and hikes in the region, such as Uluru formerly known as Ayers Rock, Kata Tjuta formerly known as the Olgas and Kings Canyon. Since the start of the tourist boom in the early eighties, the population has substantially grown to about 28,000. Although Surface water is a scarce commodity in the region, theres plenty underground! It is a great town and well worth a visit!
