On our Ghan trip we spent just 4 hours in Alice Springs and so far I've written 3 posts. So we crammed a fair bit in. Our last 20 minutes of the stopover, was spent on ANZAC Hill, the top of which is not only a memorial to defence personnel who served in a number of theatres of war, but is also a wonderful vantage point to look down on the town.
On a Segway no less!
The road leading to the top of the hill has signs listing the various wars/conflicts that Australia was involved in...we didn't get photos of all the signs but here are a few.

And look what we saw on the way back to the station! 😄Community policing!!
In 4 hours, we only 'scratched the surface' of what Alice Springs has to offer. It is certainly a town with lots of interesting history, as well as a town surrounded by some stunningly beautiful countryside.
