Alice Springs
NT Holiday & Travel Guide
Northern Territory
An
oasis in
the desert
is a spirited
celebration
of life
- and that's
a perfect
description
of Alice
Springs,
oasis extraordinaire.
Here, in
the middle
of Australia's
Red Centre,
the doctors
make housecalls
by plane,
the townspeople
race bottomless
boats down
dry riverbeds,
whilst visitors
take camels
to dinner.
"The
Alice" (as
the town
of 20,000
is affectionately
known),
is also
the gateway
to Australia's
heart and
soul. You
can hear
the "heartbeats"
as you visit
Uluru (Ayers
Rock), take
an Aboriginal
culture
tour, or
glide over
the spectacular
red plains
in a hot
air balloon.
Just take
a moment
and you'll
feel the
ancient
beat
