What you can expect
Discover the history of Alice Springs on this half day guided tour through the heart of the Red Centre. Travelling in air conditioned comfort with a friendly, experienced guide, you'll explore the landmarks and stories that shaped life in outback Australia. Step inside the historic Telegraph Station, the original site that gave rise to the town, then visit the School of the Air to learn how lessons reach children across vast desert distances. At the Royal Flying Doctor Service you'll hear how this remarkable medical lifeline serves remote communities right across the centre of the country.
As the afternoon unfolds, settle in for a relaxed afternoon tea before heading up to Anzac Hill, where panoramic views stretch across the town and the surrounding ranges. With short walks suited to all ages and fitness levels, plus pick up and drop off from your accommodation, this is an easy and insightful way to get to know one of the Territory's most fascinating towns.
