MacDonnell

Area

MacDonnell is a Local Government Area administered by the MacDonnell Regional Council. A huge area that is, for the most part, the entire Southern end of the Northern Territory from the South Australian border to well north of Alice Springs and extends (east to west)  to the Queensland and Western Australian borders.  The area is more commonly referred to as the ‘Alice Springs Region’ and yet oddly, Alice Springs and Yulara (near Uluru) are not officially within the Council’s boundary.

The majority of the area is arid desert but includes many iconic Australian experiences and tourist destinations with scenic extremes from the rugged East and West MacDonnell Ranges to vast sandy deserts and the occasional oasis of tranquil waterholes.
