Alice Springs

 
The city has a population of 22,000 and quite a number of tourists, both those like us glad to reach civilization and people who fly in for tours to Uluru and the other famous areas nearby. There is yet another Telegraph Station to the north of town, several historic administrative buildings and reasonable shops and night life.
