About Alice Springs
Alice Springs is the second largest city in the Northern Territory of Australia. Popularly known as “the Alice” or simply “Alice”, Alice Springs is situated in the geographic centre of Australia near the southern border of the Northern Territory. The site is known as Mparntwe to its traditional inhabitants, the Arrernte, who have lived in the Central Australian desert in and around what is now Alice Springs for more than 50,000 years.

There are six suburbs altogether in Alice Springs which are close to the Alice Springs town centre. Alice Springs is mostly residential.

The town of Alice Springs straddles the usually dry Todd River on the northern side of the MacDonnell Ranges. The region where Alice Springs is located is known as Central Australia, or the Red Centre, and is an arid environment consisting of several different deserts.

In Alice Springs, temperatures can vary by up to 28 °C (82 °F) and rainfall can vary quite dramatically from year to year. In summer, the average maximum temperature is in the high 30s, whereas in winter the average minimum temperature can be 7.5 °C (45.5 °F).

Alice Springs Attractions
The town of Alice Springs itself is very tiny compared to the cities of Australia on the coast but it has so much to see and do that it takes more than a day to explore everything. Alice Springs Desert Park is a true Australian Outback attraction and the sunsets over the park are famous.

While you are on your Australia vacations in Alice Springs you wont want to miss the famed Museum of Central Australia the Old Stuart Town Goal and at the Alice Springs Memorial Cemetery which is the final resting place of many of Australias famous citizens including Olive Pink and Harold Lasseter.
