Thank you for putting this up, so many memories from living there as a kid, a lot from my childhood is not there anymore. 15:14 the cignall store, when i lived there as a kid it was a Tandy Electronics. i remember getting a donkey kong handheld system 15:28 down that way the building far up the back is where civic video used to be, they had an arcade in the same building when i was a kid. 16:32 the empty building near the 40km sign used to be a toyworld and around the corner from it was video 2000 16:58 missed kmart, it was just down there, also behind it used to be blockbuster video 17:51 the parking lot with the mural used to have a pizza hut 17:59 the building on the far left used to be a video ezy 26:14 the alice springs plaza used to have a museum upstairs with dinosaurs 28:47 the target used to be a Bi-Lo
Hi Conner. Thanks for taking time to timestamp and share some history in Alice Spring. Happy to know that even in a "remote" town, there are memories of the place. It's people like you that keep a place "alive". =) Take care Conner and stay safe in these uncertain times
Agreed! Thanks for the upload! I was born and lived in Alice until I was 14. I noticed that all the chemist pharmacies there are all still in the same places as they used to be! Alice Springs Plaza/Ford Plaza definitely looks very different now, without the fountain with the goldfish that people used to throw coins into. This video bought back many fond memories
I spent a couple of nights there back in September 2019 on my way to and from the rock. It seemed quite cosmopolitan, and surprisingly I didn't encounter any problems back then. A tiny place, although some locals think Alice Springs is a big city.
A former colleague of mine is Australian, once asked him what Alice Springs was famous for. His answer was perfectly Australian, "being f***in hot mate!" 😂 He's a top lad!
Hi fellow Discoverers. This is Alan from Discovery Walking Tours TV. I recently made a road trip to amazing Australia and I am happy to share my footage of the land down under. I used binaural microphones to record the environmental sounds. So if you have a pair of headphones, do use them, it will be quite an immersive experience 😀 If you notice any interesting points in the video or want to ask about something that was caught on camera, comment with a time stamp (eg 00:01) and I will be sure to check it out. I am also interested to know where you are from 😄 so drop a comment below and say hi! If you are keen to see more of Australia, do check out my playlist below: ua-cam.com/video/gL_1uyPm3Ss/v-deo.html
Is Alice still a bit dangerous ? Went there back in the 80s after reading the book a town called Alice but very disappointing, drunk bums and crap everywhere on the side of the roads quite an eye opener ! Surely it must be sorted out now ! don’t look to bad . Id like to go back for a visit but I’m hesitant obviously 🤔
I'm researching a novel that takes place in Alice Springs - this walking tour was invaluable to me in getting a feel for the town. Thank you for posting.
I can tell this is old because Uncle eddies is gone and so is Las caslinga on the side of the street. Covid-19 TOOK care of those places they shut down. Also Rocky's has moved to the west side of town. Also the camera house and Sanity shut down in september 2020
Great video, but I have one recommendation. Don't move your camera so much left and right. You are doing it constantly and the eyes just hurt because of all that movement. You have a great steadycam and use it. You have a relatively wide angle so almost everything is in frame anyways. Just keep your camera straight and that's it. It's just one complaint, but it's honestly a big one. Just my side of it. But still great video :)
Thanks Deni. I very much appreciate the constructive feedback and I agree with you. There is definitely a tendency for me to try to film "everything" which I will tone down. Will do my best to film straight for future videos 😂 thanks again and I hope there will be other videos in channel that interest you
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV ofcourse. Your channel is fascinating. I especially love your Australia videos since that's my dream land and I hope I'll visit it one day :) ...great content! You deserve way more subscribers and views!
@@i-deni-i5138 Thanks! It will grow as long as I keep at it. Once this virus episode is over I will be glad to visit Australia again to film. Take care and be safe =)
Hopefully a local will let you know. Personally I didn't feel "safe" and I'm a male traveller. Best to walk around in a group and don't stay out late into the night.
I Recently saw a trivia question which indicated that 98% of all Australians live within 150 miles of the sea ... and I thought, 'wow, John Jarratt really IS all alone, there, in the middle of the nation/outback, doin' his Mick Taylor Wolf Creek thing!' ;) ... lol but seriously .... it looks like about 23,000 people live in Alice Springs .... and I lmao when I saw that they have a McDonalds ... but in a good way! It's almost impossible to believe that they can 'get' electricity there in the middle of nowhere
They have gas pipelines of the country's national distribution network. It is not like in Chile that we do not have fossil fuels. But we have the highest radiation in the world in the north and the highest winds in the world in the south ✌️
It is fortunate for the native citizens of Australia to be able to take care of and solve problems such as education and society. My country has never been subjected to white rulership, but people are not given the same care from the government like native citizens of Australia.
Is this really Alice Springs? I was doing research and people made it seem like it was horrible and violent and in the middle of nowhere only being surrounded by aboriginal people.
Brother, I will see the population of this city. Im from india 🤣🇮🇳 You would know if you are from China. How is the population here in india and china Their whole country will sit in one of our cities🤣🤣
Thank you for putting this up, so many memories from living there as a kid, a lot from my childhood is not there anymore.
15:14 the cignall store, when i lived there as a kid it was a Tandy Electronics. i remember getting a donkey kong handheld system
15:28 down that way the building far up the back is where civic video used to be, they had an arcade in the same building when i was a kid.
16:32 the empty building near the 40km sign used to be a toyworld and around the corner from it was video 2000
16:58 missed kmart, it was just down there, also behind it used to be blockbuster video
17:51 the parking lot with the mural used to have a pizza hut
17:59 the building on the far left used to be a video ezy
26:14 the alice springs plaza used to have a museum upstairs with dinosaurs
28:47 the target used to be a Bi-Lo

@@KitKatess i remember the fountain in the plaza. threw a few coins in there when i was a kid
Also where the knick knack shop is used to be Murray neck music world and the flower shop used to be a tourist place
@@flatcapman whats the time stamp
Very interesting! I've always wanted to go to Alice Springs! Thanks Alan for this walk!
Think you will enjoy this road trip. If you survived Mongolia, you will enjoy Darwin to Alice Springs =)
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV Cool!
grew up here and left 20 years ago, whilst some of the shops have changed the main structures and lay out hasn't. some good memories in this town
Thanks for sharing your memories of the place. Sounds as though time has stood still in the area 😊
I have been there a few weeks ago. Nice to see it again.
Smooth and steady walk as usual. Thanks for this glimpse of Australia !
Greetings
Thanks C&E 😄 It was an interesting road trip for me as well
wow what a beautiful town
I've always been curious about Alice Springs. Thanks for putting up this wonderful video! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it =D
its small, sunny, and well polished town. everything is taken care off
Have you been there it’s not nice people are scared to leave there house because,they get bashed
Thank you, some years ago I read a book about Alice Springs. It's good to see the video.
Glad the video managed to provide you some insight on Alice Spring 😊
I spent a couple of nights there back in September 2019 on my way to and from the rock. It seemed quite cosmopolitan, and surprisingly I didn't encounter any problems back then. A tiny place, although some locals think Alice Springs is a big city.
I suppose if you live in a town camp because all the money is being spent in the city you would think that Alice was a big place
Greetings from England! Love the videos! Nice to see walking vids from pretty much the other side of the world..
Glad to have you along for the ride Dave =)
Great video, thanks Alan for sharing
A former colleague of mine is Australian, once asked him what Alice Springs was famous for. His answer was perfectly Australian, "being f***in hot mate!" 😂 He's a top lad!
That honestly made me lol 😂
It was surprisingly mild when I went there this April.
I would have had a different answer if somebody had of asked me the same question

the crime is still really bad unfortunately
You probably won't see this but they wanted to call in the army 6 months ago to control the place
Good video miss Alice springs
Thanks Leanne 😊 it was an unique experience visiting the town. Fond memories of it
I loved the video...thanks
I'm researching a novel that takes place in Alice Springs - this walking tour was invaluable to me in getting a feel for the town. Thank you for posting.
Happy to know the video has proved useful in your research =)
Synopsis?
I can tell this is old because Uncle eddies is gone and so is Las caslinga on the side of the street. Covid-19 TOOK care of those places they shut down. Also Rocky's has moved to the west side of town. Also the camera house and Sanity shut down in september 2020
good place to summer heat lovers.
Very nice video.:)
this video was filmed on the same day as the alice beat festivel
Nice. I didn't even realise the festival was going on. What is the festival about?

I agree more look at the general surroundings not shifting focus and looking in/at shops

Is the city safe for female tourist travelers
Hopefully a local will let you know. Personally I didn't feel "safe" and I'm a male traveller. Best to walk around in a group and don't stay out late into the night.
美麗的..........
Until you actually go there
It has changed Abit and Kmart
What tf is a town doing in the middle of the desert
Maybe there are good productive mines in the centre of Australia? Probably why a town is needed then
I Recently saw a trivia question which indicated that 98% of all Australians live within 150 miles of the sea ... and I thought, 'wow, John Jarratt really IS all alone, there, in the middle of the nation/outback, doin' his Mick Taylor Wolf Creek thing!' ;) ... lol but seriously .... it looks like about 23,000 people live in Alice Springs .... and I lmao when I saw that they have a McDonalds ... but in a good way!

...
Maybe look a bit more into it, but now the native people of this land are respected by everyone much more and not treated as "poor"
sic as brus
Grow up !
Alice springs =homeless. Sin.!! Because its beautiful!!
Is this really Alice Springs? I was doing research and people made it seem like it was horrible and violent and in the middle of nowhere only being surrounded by aboriginal people.
It's was okay ☺️ didn't feel it was unsafe in the areas I walked
It would be sooooooo sad to see the same walk now.
What has happened to the place?
Brother, I will see the population of this city.
Im from india 🤣🇮🇳
You would know if you are from China.
How is the population here in india and china
Their whole country will sit in one of our cities🤣🤣
so mistics
alice springs so big
What's with the Chinese writing ffs
For foreigners who might be keen to know more about the place ☺️
