Alice Springs itself is a nice little town, but not really a "must see".
But it is the biggest Town in the Middle of Australia and it is THE starting point for any trip to :
the Ayers Rock (say: Uluru),
the Olgas, (Kata Tjuna)
the Kings Creek Canyon,
the Glen Helen Gorge,
Orniston Gorge,
Wallace Rockhole,
Goss Bluff
Ellery Creek
Finke River
Palm Valley
Standley Chasm
Ochre Pitts
....
So Australias Middle is not really the middle of Nowhere....
The picture is taken on Anzak Hill.
On the picture you can see the hills in the background: Its the MacDonnel Ranges and the doorway they are building is the Heavytree Gap. Here the Todd River comes through - and the Road: Staurt Highway. In times with much water the road is flooded regularly.

- Pros:Good starting point
- Cons:A triffle boring town.

Great page! I had no idea ther was so much to see around Alice Springs (nor that it was that green in town).
Great page, Corinne. You're quite right, for many towns in Oz the real interests are in the surrounding area.
Corinne, beautiful pics of the amazing geological wonders of this part of Aussie!! I like the way you travel - that 4WD bus tour and getting your own firewood sounds great! I loved eating Barramundi while in Papua New Guinea.
We visited Alice and the area in June 2005, Corinne. I enjoyed reliving the experience with your page. Very, very nice. I remember Mount Conner. Our guide called it the "fake Uluru". ; )
excellent pics and info. Visitng Alice Springs in August 2005 Cheers Lozza
WOW!!
Outstanding page, Corinne. I enjoyed from the beginning to the end. Thank you.
