Alice Springs sits at the geographic centre of Australia in the Larapinta region of the Northern Territory, surrounded by the MacDonnell Ranges — ancient parallel ridges of folded quartzite worn to rounded red forms. The town serves as the main service centre for the western desert region and the base for accessing West MacDonnell National Park, Uluru-Kata Tjuta, and Kings Canyon. The Araluen Cultural Precinct houses significant collections of Western and Central Desert Aboriginal art, providing context for the art produced in communities throughout the region.
