The urban heart of central Australia is Alice Springs, a free-spirited, sunbaked, open-skied city that never fails to charm. Sitting between the east and west MacDonnell Ranges, Alice is a paradise of slender white gums and grey-green foliage, against rose-hued earth and hills underneath a dazzling blue sky. The locals are the friendliest you'll find - chat to them and you'll discover that many were once just visitors who fell in love with the town and could not leave. And why not? The climate is warm, the air is pure and the pace is relaxed.
