The locals live in either in tree-lined streets in the older parts
of the town or in modern suburbs similar to those in any
Australian city. Housing choice ranges from modest units to
architecturally-stunning apartments and houses.
The climate promotes an outdoor lifestyle, backed up by
excellent sporting and recreational venues and facilities
- including one of the world’s top 10 desert golf courses,
nestled in the shadow of the spectacular MacDonnell Ranges
Alice Springs is one of seven Australian cities participating in
the Australian Government’s Solar City program, and with an
average of 300 sunny days each year, why not? The town is
well on its way to becoming a solar energy model for the rest
of Australia and the world.
Arts and culture are strong in The Alice. Many locals belong
to wide-ranging organisations, clubs and groups which
encourage active participation in visual art of many genres,
theatre, dance, music and craft.
Alice Springs has a diverse community made up of people from
all over the world. Around 20% of the population is Indigenous.
Alice Springs is surrounded by breathtaking gorges and
waterholes, all easily accessible by road, walking trails and
bicycle tracks. It’s the perfect base from which to explore the
MacDonnell Ranges, visit Uluru (Ayers Rock) or Kata Tjuta
(the Olgas), fossick for gemstones and generally enjoy the
richly-coloured wide open spaces of the Red Centre.
