Alice Springs (or Mparntwe in Arrernte language) is the third-largest town in the Northern Territory, with a population of approximately 33,000 people. The town is halfway between Darwin and Adelaide, about 1,500 km each way.

In the town centre, you can get everything you need as there's a variety of shops to stock up on your weekly supplies. As well as cafes and restaurants to explore.

With deep spiritual origins dating back more than 30,000 years, Alice Springs has an abundance of rich culture and history.

The town is surrounded by stunning natural beauty, including the MacDonnell Ranges and the Red Centre Desert. About 450kms down the road is Uluru, a large sandstone rock formation that is a spectacular sight any time of the year.

Alice Springs is home to many passionate longtime locals, but it's also the central hub for many neighbouring remote communities and attracts national and international travellers. The locals revel in welcoming new residents with their friendly and relaxed nature and remain community minded in all that they do. Alice Springs is recognised as one of the most diverse, accepting communities in the country and is home to a number of different cultures.
