Some shots of the outdoor exhibits at the Artlunga Visitors Centre. Wasn't a soul there but us - not even the ranger was around. Arltunga was the site of Central Australia's first town. In 1886 a surveyor "discovered" rubies in the nearby Hale river at Ruby Gap. Alas, they were garnets. In 1887 gold was discovered nearby. Stuart (now Alice Springs) was originally surveyed to supply the new Arltunga goldfield.
