Alice Springs - Anzac Hill

From Anzac Hill, to the north of Alice Springs, there are good views of the town with its rectangular grid of streets, the carefully tended gardens and rows of trees, supplied with water by irrigation, and the MacDonnell Ranges to the south, with the Todd River, the Stuart Highway and the railroad line finding their way through the narrow Heavitree Gap.

The river is normally dry, but after heavy rain it can turn into a raging torrent, making the roads impassable for days.
