Three of the most famous explorers in Australian history took twenty years to put Alice Springs, or Stuart as it was first known, on the map. Eyre began the struggle, Sturt continued until ill-health and privation forced him to return to Adelaide, and it was on McDouall Stuart's fourth attempt that Alice had its beginnings.

This book celebrates the inspiration and initiative of these early founders and the people who followed and established the town as the thriving force it is today. (book flap)
