The Location

Emergency Medicine Registrar Doctors that locum in the top end absolutely love to explore the beauty which offers: Camping, Trekking, Golf, Hiking, Horse Riding, Hot Air Balloons, Cycling, Swimming, Diving, World-Class national parks and experience our unique aboriginal culture that is 22,000 years old.

Locum ED Doctors love what Alice Springs has to offer with unique landscapes & rich cultural heritage. But that's not all - you'll discover amazing sunsets and delicious cuisine.

Alice Springs is where the adventure awaits. Positioned between the East and West MacDonnell Ranges, Alice Springs is known for its desert landscapes and its people who have shaped its history. The region holds a strong cultural connection to traditional custodians, the Arrernte people.

Bella Alice (pizza / pasta) and Loco Burrito are highly recommended.

The national park to the west is an interesting place if you have a day to go for a drive. The Ochre Pits, Serpentine Gorge, and any of the gaps which have nice little water holes. The bird show at the animal park is also worth going to see. As an FYI, we don't have anything to do with the Ochre Pits, cool name though!

If you love Golf, Alice Springs has a tremendous course - https://northernterritory.com/alice-springs-and-surrounds/see-and-do/alice-springs-golf-club
