Alice Springs
In its 125-year history, Alice Springs has gone from a simple telegraph station on the Overland Telegraph Line to being central Australia's key town. Hordes of tourists visit 'the Alice' on their way to tasting the outback charms of the MacDonnell Ranges and a certain big rock to the south.

Due to its outback location, Alice Springs' overall climate is predictably dry and arid most of the time, without a real wet season. Rainfall varies from year to year, but if there has been a considerable amount of winter rain the wildflowers and plant life will spring up from August through October. Temperatures can get as high as 48°C (118°F) in summer and can drop as low as -7°C (19°F) in winter. The best time to visit is in April and thereabouts - you'll miss out on summer's extreme heat, and still be far enough away from the cold season.
