Your Experience
Your Experience
In this 60-year-old Half-Day Guided Tour of Alice Springs, you'll discover how the town became the geographic center of the Australian outback. While driving with your guide, you’ll learn about various historical sites and essential services that have been pivotal for the region.
Alice Springs School of the Air & Telegraph Station
The tour begins at Alice Springs School of the Air in Australia’s Northern Territory, which educates elementary school-aged children from remote areas over a million square kilometers using satellite technology. This innovative service is an integral part of local education.
- Next stop: The Telegraph Station
Built in 1872 as the first European settlement in Alice Springs, this station connected Darwin and Adelaide through telegraph messages for over six decades. Initially serving as a community hub, it later functioned as an Aboriginal children's school before becoming a historical reserve with original stone buildings and furniture from around 1900.
