	A Town like Alice
		Alice was an interesting place, a real oasis in the middle of nowhere and a great place to spend a few days finding out about the history of such Australian lifelines as the Flying Doctor Service and The School of the Air.
		The other important invention to impact on Alice was the building of the telegraph wire which stretched across the country from Darwin in the north to Adelaide in the south right through the centre of the country.
		Alice was also a vibrant place, it is well known as an innovative place for Aboriginal artwork and there are a number of galleries with the dot paintings, traditional and modern styles and it also has a great atmosphere for nightlife.
