Alice Springs - Birthplace of a Town

The Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve is where the town started in 1872.  This was the first European settlement in the Outback.  The "town" has been preserved just as it would have been in the late 1800's. 

We had dinner at "Overlander's" Steakhouse - and tried the "Drover's Blowout" meal including crocodile, camel, kangaroo, emu and barrimundi.  Some say this steakhouse was the inspiration for the Outback Restaurant.

The Alice Springs Chifley resort was our hotel.  We did a driving tour around the town then headed back to Sydney completing our Outback experience.
