ALICE SPRINGS

Introduction
It's the heart
of Australia, the capital of the Outback and the most romantic country
town in the world. It's where the Arrernte Aboriginal tribal group have
lived for 20,000 years and where pioneer men and women gave
"tough" a new meaning.
With a population of over 27,000, the town is a self-contained business
community catering for its population and the many thousands of annual
visitors.
Although tourism is Central Australia’s most valuable sector, the region
also supports a huge cattle industry. The retail sector encompasses a
number of major shopping precincts including supermarkets and specialty
shops where prices are comparable to those in other key Territory urban
centres.
It experiences superb desert climate, with an average daily maximum
temperature of 36C in January and a minimum of 4C in July.
