    I had an awesome 1.5 years living in Alice for work. I had no negative experiences at all. its an incredibly rugged and wildwest little town with friendly locals everywhere. the worst thing was after it rains insects burrow up out of the ground in all directions. I hate insects. The other wildlife such as eagles, kites, lizards are in abundance and part of the daily life. love this town.

      Hey from the states, I’ve always wanted to see the outback, but when I look up maps it seems all the roads are on the coast. Is it possible to drive straight through the middle of the country? I understand dirt roads and what not, I live in a place with dirt roads too

      @@V8trickshot Yes it is possible. But from East to the middle and then west you are going to need one very good 4WD and plenty of supplies. The 1500km drive to the red centre will be all dirt roads and mostly in desert conditions.

    I'm in Los Angeles and around 12-15 years ago I use to watch a webcam for some restaurant that I can't remember the name of from Alice Springs, it was pretty interesting if not crazy boring for some, but I got to see what I think were probably people passing through, and lots of beer served! lol🍻 I looked it up on a map and it looked like one road through a teeny town (if I remember right).

    4:15 Actually, since the surface is flat at the bottom and curved at the top, is the air at the top that hast to go faster, since both the top and bottom of the boomerang move at the same speed through the air, but the air at the top has more surface to traverse. Faster air, like the one at the top, produces less pressure (that's called the Bernoulli's principle) than the slower air at the bottom and that's what produces de lift.

    I was curious if there was much going on in the middle part of Australia so I went on google maps and zoomed in to the middle of Australia and I discover ‘Alice Springs’ so then I hop on youtube and search ‘middle of Australia’ and boom a video about Alice Springs. I wonder if the price of goods there is higher as It must be a pain to Fly in or Truck in goods for stores or groceries

    I am a local from Alice, was here when there was hardly no one living here and it was absolutely beautiful. It was when the Government introduced the intervention, Alice has now changed a lot. We have beautiful scenery, but yes you can't do the things we could do 10 to 20 years ago and that's really sad. I love my home town, it's just other people from surrounding communities ruin it for everyone else. Right now we have the Masters games, so town is booming and Partjima light festival was absolutely amazing. So if you do come to Alice just be careful at night, and never walk on your own but enjoy it.
