Stories from the Heart

A town that is loved for its energy, strong community spirit, and breathtaking beauty – stories told by the people who experienced it first-hand.

Alice Springs is more than just a destination—it’s a feeling, a connection, a story waiting to be told. Alice Springs is the beating heart of the Australian outback. Framed by the stunning MacDonnell Ranges, the town pulses with culture, resilience, and adventure. Here, ancient rock art shares stories of the Arrernte people, while local artists, musicians, and storytellers bring new energy to an already rich history. The desert is full of surprises. Life flourishes in every direction - from the glow of a red dirt sunrise illuminating the beauty of wildflowers blooming after the rain to the clearest night sky stretching endlessly and unveiling wonders of the cosmic world.

Whether you’re drawn to its deep connection to country, the warmth of its community, or the spirit of adventure, Alice Springs leaves a lasting impression. Whether you’re a traveller passing through, a visitor here for a while, or someone who calls it home, this town stays with you long after you’ve gone.
