The Totem Theatre Complex, Alice Springs comprises two WWII Sidney Williams Huts and related extensions, a Wride & Abley shed and ablutions facility. Two early concrete slabs, which possibly associated to the WWII period, are placed north of the ablutions block and the surrounding area bound by fencing. Inside the Theatre Complex, concrete paths connect the huts and shed. The WWII Huts performed as one of the branches of the Military Regimental Aid Post & Dental Clinic. The significance of these Huts are, these are the last existing in-situ physical proof related with the 'Anzac Hill Camp', Darwin Overland Maintenance Force (DOMF) and subsequent transport units. The DOMF was played an influential role in the construction of the North-South Road, which presently known as the Stuart Highway, connecting Tennant Creek and Birdum (Larrimah). The creation of the road is a great achievement because it was completed in 90 days.
The existing buildings at The Totem Theatre Complex, Alice Springs has historical and social value for their associations with the post-war social and cultural progress of Alice Springs and in specific the Alice Springs Theatre Group. The buildings obtain some importance from their associations with members of the theatre group who made an imperative input to the Territory; Agnes East and Mona Greatorex. In spite of several modifications to suit their role as a theatre venue, the WWII Sidney Williams huts maintain a considerable amount of their unique fabric, as well as the fixings, and these Huts are good examples of this specific type of WWII structure.
