What do we do for a living?
Tourism, hospitality, farming, construction, road building and maintenance, social services and support, IT, retail, printing, mechanical, engineering, advertising, real estate, administration.
In short, we earn our money in much the same way that people in small to medium sized communities all over the world earn theirs.
Zoom your Google Earth down on Alice Springs to about 15-20 k's in height and you'll see that we're just another small town like any other. Just a little more isolated than most.
We're not all just sitting about the sand dunes swatting flies and drinking beer!
Um, okay. There is a BIT of that goes on, I guess.
If you don't mind a bit of heat, cold, dust, flies, snakes, (and spiders, scorpions, mozzies and more flies), isolation, alcoholism, drought, flood and a few more flies, then pack yer bags and come and have a look!
(Jeez, I think I may have just lost my Honorary Tourism Ambassador title.)
We'll find you a job alright Ed. Don't you worry about that!
