[:pl]W południe lądujemy w Alice Springs w samym sercu Australii. Jest upalnie. Z lotniska odbiera nas bus rozwożący turystów do hosteli i hoteli w mieście, które od lotniska oddalone jest o jakieś 20 – 30 minut jazdy. To dzień relaksu więc po zameldowaniu się w hostelu ruszamy na piechotę do centrum pozwiedzać galerie sztuki aborygeńskiej, i napić się piwa w niezwykłej restauracji.

Alice Springs

Alice Springs, called Mparntwe in Eastern Arrernte, is the third-largest town in the Northern Territory of Australia after Darwin and Palmerston. Known as Stuart until 31 August 1933, the name Alice Springs was given by surveyor William Whitfield Mills after Alice, Lady Todd, wife of the telegraph pioneer Sir Charles Todd. Now colloquially known as The Alice or simply Alice, the town is situated roughly in Australia’s geographic centre. It is nearly equidistant from Adelaide and Darwin. The area is known as Mparntwe to its original inhabitants, the Arrernte, who have lived in the Central Australian desert in and around what is now Alice Springs for tens of thousands of years.[:de] [:it] [:es] [:fr] [:]
