Central Alice Springs is fairly compact and consists of a uniform gridwork which is only five streets wide. The centre is sandwiched between both the Stuart Highway and the Todd River, which remains dry throughout the majority of the year.

Todd Street is an important part of the centre and contains a good selection of shops and eateries, leading to both Wills Terrace and Gregory Terrace, which is home to the office of the Central Australian Tourism Industry Association. Here you will find plenty of tourist information, including maps and brochures about the region's main sights, the free 'Visitors Guide' and also the 'Welcome to Central Australia' leaflet.
