Alice Springs

Alice Springs is the regional centre of Central Australia and known as Mparntwe to the Arrente people. It straddles the Todd River near 'The Gap' in the McDonnell Ranges. In 1861-62 John McDouall Stuart led his expedition between South Australia and the north through the area and a decade later work began on an Overland Telegraph Line from Adelaide to Darwin (and then overseas).
