Lonely Planet review

All communities and stations within a 600km (373mi) radius of town are serviced by Alice's Royal Flying Doctor Service base. Entry is by half-hour tours that run continuously all day. Tours include a 10-minute video, a squiz at an operational control room, and a wander through the museum where historical displays include some fascinating ancient medical gear.

The cafe, housed in the RFDS's original communications base, serves great pies, salads and desserts. The souvenir shop is a good place to pick up gifts; proceeds go towards the base's operational costs.
