To get a feel for early Alice Springs, there are a number of historic-buildings-cum-mini-museums that you can pop into while wandering around town.
On Todd Mall is Adelaide House built in the 1920s by the founding flying doctor Reverend John Flynn as the first hospital in central Australia. Enter a classroom from 1938 at the Old Hartley Street School or take in the gracious beauty of the Residency , built in 1927 and a symbol of the town's brief legislative independence from the rest of the NT.
