Alice Springs has a population of 27,972, which makes up 8.7 percent of the territory’s population. Alice Springs is nearly equidistant from Adelaide and Darwin. The town straddles the usually dry Todd River on the northern side of the MacDonnell Ranges. The surrounding region is known as Central Australia, or the Red Centre, an arid environment consisting of several different deserts.
In Alice Springs temperatures can vary dramatically, with an average maximum temperature in summer of 35.6 °C and an average minimum temperature in winter of 5.1 °C. Alice Springs has faced many problems in recent years, largely stemming from an increase in crime and a strong racial divide that has existed for years in the town.

What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing it. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteAlice Springs is a very long way from any beach and has very little rainfall of its own. So what do the locals do for drinking water, gardens, swimming pools etc?
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful location. I could never live far away from the water I think I have it in my blood, if that even makes any sense.
ReplyDeleteThe Red Rock steals the show. It must be lovely to watch the sun shine on it.
ReplyDeleteI hope Alice Springs soon finds better days again.
I'll admit I wasn't very impressed with Alice Springs.
