Old Stone Hut

Initially constructed sometime between mid-1940 and mid-1945, the Stone Hut on Lot 6441 Town of Alice Springs is important because it is an example of a building design and technique no longer practiced in the NT. The building is a single-roomed residence with fireplace and stove, bush timber roof beams, stone and lime mortar walls, and concrete floor. The use of local materials such as the flattened tins for part of the roof is an example of an innovative response to the shortage of building materials available during wartime. These characteristics combine to demonstrate a bushman's way of life.

The Alice Springs Golf Club is appointed with all the facilities one would expect of a top club including a golf pro shop, motorised buggies, a fully licensed clubhouse and Bunkers Restaurant.

Alice Springs General Cemetery

The Alice Springs General Cemetery is of significance to the Territory and is valued by the community principally as the last resting place of many individuals and families who played an important pioneering role in the development of the Territory's pastoral, mining and transport industries, arts and culture, and the areas of education, law and order. Individuals interred in the Cemetery include noted Aboriginal artist Albert Namatjira and Territory architect, Beni Carr Glynn Burnett. Although not officially proclaimed as a Cemetery until 1949, burials occurred between 1933 up until 1995 when the cemetery was closed with exceptions. The relatively open, simple, yet formal Cemetery layout is a reminder that even after the arrival of the railway in 1929 life in the Centre continued to be characterised by harsh and basic conditions.

Yubu Napa Art Gallery and Studio

The premier gallery for visitors to the Red Centre to view a wide variety of modern and contemporary Australian Aboriginal art. Yubu Napa has a relaxed feel with a large range of unique gift ideas showcased in the gift shop when you enter the building. The gallery opens up to three gallery spaces beyond the gift shop, as well as a working studio and artworks hanging in the stockroom for visitors to browse through. Visitors to Alice Springs have the opportunity to meet and engage with Indigenous artists as they are creating their amazing Aboriginal artworks. The paintings are created on site in our open studio space. The engagement between artists and visitors is an invaluable experience, with visitors learning firsthand about the stories behind these authentic Aboriginal artworks and artists receiving an appreciation of the respect that is shown by the visitors to the studio. This interaction builds a greater confidence among artists who are often quite shy by nature. We have noticed this confidence reflected in their art and the engagement with both visitors to the Gallery and the team working here. The traditional stories told by these artists are quite often more contemporary than visitors expect, due to the artists personal interpretations of the important dreamings handed down by their elders.

Yeperenye / Emily and Jessie Gaps Nature Park

Yeperenye / Emily and Jessie Gaps Nature Park are the first noticeable features of the East MacDonnell Ranges as you drive 10 kilometres out of Alice Springs. Pack a picnic, watch the local wildlife, or follow a short walking track into both gaps. The two small gaps in the Heavitree Range are important spiritual sites to the Eastern Arrernte Aboriginal people. Many places in the surrounding landscape are associated with the same caterpillar Dreamtime story, and form a 'Dreaming Trail'. Emily Gap is a significant sacred site where the caterpillar beings of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) originated. These caterpillars formed Emily Gap and many of the topographic features around Alice Springs, then radiated out to the edge of the Simpson Desert. At Emily Gap you can see a large rock painting depicting the caterpillar dreaming. The first European sighting of Emily and Jessie Gap was in 1871. It was thought that the names Emily and Jessie were chosen after the daughters of Sir Charles Todd, but this was found to be untrue. The basis on which the names are derived is unknown. Yeperenye / Emily and Jessie Gaps Nature Park is an easy 15-minute drive along the sealed Ross Highway.

Simpsons Gap Bicycle Path

See the Central Australian landscape on two wheels by pedalling along the Simpsons Gap Bicycle Path. Extending from John Flynn's Grave Historical Reserve (7 kilometres west of Alice Springs) to Simpsons Gap in the Tjoritja/ West MacDonnell National Park, this 17 kilometre easy cross-country path is a relaxing and scenic ride for all ages and levels of fitness. The path is great for either a short ride or as a longer exploration of the natural environment around the town. Stop to take in panoramic views of the hills and ranges encircling Alice Springs. The path winds past creeks and River Red Gum woodlands, through Mulga and Witchetty Bush groves, to exposed rocky hills. Signs along the way explain the area's natural and scenic features, and are a great place to rest your legs. With luck, and if you cycle quietly, you may encounter local wildlife, particularly lizards and birds, early or late in the day. The low light of the early morning or late afternoon is the best time to photograph the changing contours and colours of the expansive MacDonnell Ranges landscape. The cooler months from April to October are the more pleasant for cycling.

Heenan Building Alice Springs

The Heenan Building is important for its historical and social associations with FBC (Mick) Heenan who was the first commercial market gardener and poultry farmer in the area. Initially used to house Heenan's café and fruit and vegetable store, the building has since been used as office space by various government and commercial enterprises. The changes in business tenants, together with changes to the building itself, reflect the economic growth and diversification of businesses in Alice Springs since the 1950s. Designed by noted Territory architect B.C.G. Burnett, the building is important as one of the earliest examples of a `modernist' building in Alice Springs. It retains a number of original 1949 features including most of the original exterior blockwork walls and cantilevered awning over the footpath while the 1958 additions remain relatively intact. Its clean lines and simple decorative motifs on the façade contribute significantly to the Gregory Terrace streetscape.

Adelaide House

Adelaide House Museum

Designed by Rev John Flynn (the man of the $20 note) and built-in 1926, Adelaide House was the first hospital in Alice Springs. Designed for the hot inland climate, it is a two-storey stone structure with wide verandahs, a ventilated roof and an innovative ducted ventilation system whereby incoming air was cooled in an underground cellar, circulated by ducts, and then extracted through the upper storey. It was also equipped with modern conveniences, being the first building in Alice Springs to be powered by electricity. The building is closely associated with Rev. John Flynn, its aero-medical offshoot, and the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia, which was involved in its planning and construction. Its engine room was the scene of one of Australia’s first successful outback radio experiments—here on 25 November 1926, Flynn’s radio expert, Alfred Traeger, made Australia’s first field-radio telegram reception and transmission. Traeger later won a place in national history as the inventor of the pedal radio. Come in and enjoy the history of this beautiful and iconic building and the hospitality of the local volunteers who will share a cuppa with you after the tour. It is a simple museum, but the volunteers work hard to preserve the memory of the tough and dedicated people who served the outback since the turn of the century.

John Flynn Memorial Uniting Church

The John Flynn Memorial Church is a part of The Flynn Trail, a self-guided heritage tour in Alice Springs and surrounds. This tour takes you on a journey across Alice Springs and the life and achievements of John Flynn who played a crucial role in opening up Central Australia to second people's. John Flynn dreamed of a cathedral within Central Australia where all people could gather and worship. After his death, his friends across Australia built one in his memory. It was opened by the Prime Minister in 1956, and its design was a result of a national architectural competition incorporating passive cooling, local and national symbolism in its design. Take a self-guided tour, walking the sign of the Cross built into the Church's design. Reflect for a moment on his life, and your own, in this peaceful sanctuary. The Alice Spring Uniting Church community continues to worship in the building on a Sunday morning at 9.30am.
