Learn how the town of Alice Springs has evolved into the central hub of the Australian outback. On this afternoon tour, you&#39;ll visit historical sites and some of the essential services delivered from Alice to the community of this vast region. The land&#39;s traditional custodians are the Arrernte people, who refer to Alice as &#39;Mpwante&#39;.

Call into the School of the Air which provides education to primary school children living on remote properties in the Northern Territory. Then, explore the Telegraph Station, the first European settlement in Alice Springs.&nbsp;Learn how this critical piece of infrastructure relayed messages between Darwin and Adelaide for 60 years.

Next, you&#39;ll visit the Royal Flying Doctor Service headquarters, which delivers medical services to those who live and work in remote rural Australia.

Discover some of the local wildlife with a stop at&nbsp;Alice Springs Reptile Centre, home to the largest reptile display in Central Australia. You&#39;ll have lots of fun, particularly during the show and if you&#39;re game, try the supervised handling session.

Finally, enjoy panoramic&nbsp;views over Alice Springs and the surrounding West MacDonnell Ranges from the top of Anzac Hill.

If you want to make the most of your day out, add the optional upgrade to include a morning at the Alice Springs Desert Park. Rise early for your transfer to the world-class facility to witness free-flying birds at the Nature Theatre presentation and see rare and endangered animals such as the Bilby. Time at the Alice Springs Desert Park is unguided; you will explore the park in your own time at leisure.&nbsp;The return transfer to your hotel will leave the Desert Park at midday, giving you time for lunch at your own expense before you are picked up from your hotel for the A Town Like Alice&nbsp;Tour.
