Alice Springs is the main base for Royal Flying Doctor Service that treats people living and traveling in the immense backwoods. An exciting 20-minute tour runs every half-hour, including a video and a talk in the communications room and allow another 30 minutes to look around the small museum. Some of the recorded conversations between doctors and patients are fascinating. This area comprises a nice garden cafe and a gift shop.
