Alice Springs Highlights Half-Day Tour

Alice Springs, Australia

At the very heart of Australia lies the historic town of Alice Springs - the pioneering gateway to a mysterious land of natural monuments, colorful outback culture and ancient Dreamtime lore. On this half-day afternoon tour you will visit the School of the Air, the Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service as well as take in spectacular views of the West MacDonnell ranges from Anzac Hill.

Situated close to the very centre of the vast Australian continent, Alice Springs is the country's best known 'Outback' town. Originally settled as a post along the Overland Telegraph route, Alice Springs today is a lively town full of things to see and places to go. On your informative town tour, you'll find the locals to be relaxed and friendly, and always keen for a chat.

Visit the base of the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the School of the Air, two uniquely Australian organizations that provide medical care and education respectively to people in remote areas of central Australia. Enjoy panoramic views of the town and the rugged West MacDonnell Ranges from Anzac Hill. See the old Telegraph Station. Be transferred back to your hotel.

Even though it was a public holiday, and not all venues were open, the driver/ tour guide, with his deep knowledge of Alice Springs and its history, ensured that those of us on the tour were not for a moment bored.. I can highly recommend this tour for those visiting the Alice and have a few hours to spare...very good value....

I travelled with my 85 year old father. Our tour driver was Graeme and he was courteous, informative and made each of his passengers feel very welcome. The sites were terrific. I would recommend this halfday tour to all . Ann

The tour was nice, for the price and for what Alice Springs can offer. At the RFDS we felt a bit abandoned, but it was very interesting as the School of the Air and mostly the Telegraph station. The visit at the Aboriginal Gallery was interesting but a guide from the gallery would have been appreciated.
