Life in Alice Springs
Surrounded by red dirt and hauntingly beautiful mountain ranges you'll find Alice Springs - known to locals as simply "Alice" - the beating heart of Australia's Red Centre and city of arts and events. Alice township is nestled against the majestic and ancient MacDonnell Ranges – known to the Arrernte as Tjoritja (pronounced choor-it-ja) – stretching 644km, with the southern gateway aptly named ‘The Gap’ dividing east and west.
Though globally renowned as a romantic, dusty, outback community with a few rustic buildings and kangaroos hopping down the main street, Alice today is a typically modern and industrious Australian town, alive with cosmopolitan character, a thriving arts community, and offers newcomers and visitors a wealth of opportunities for indulging the senses.
Whether your passion is exploring Aboriginal culture, the arts, team sports, fitness, photography, camping, hiking, mountain biking, motorsports, desert-racing, native flora or wildlife, Alice will charm its way into your soul.
