Encyclopedic overview

Alice Springs (Eastern Arrernte: Mparntwe, [ᵐbaⁿɖʷə], colloquially in English The Alice or Alice) is a town in the Northern Territory, Australia; it is the third-largest settlement in the Northern Territory after Darwin and Palmerston. The name Alice Springs was given by surveyor William Whitfield Mills after Alice, Lady Todd (née Alice Gillam Bell), wife of the telegraph pioneer Charles Todd. The town is situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, nearly equidistant from Adelaide and Darwin.

The area's original inhabitants, the Arrernte, have lived in the Central Australian desert for tens of thousands of years.
