  Limited surface water in central Australia has made this waterhole an important resource for both people and wildlife. The Eastern Arrernte name for the waterhole is ‘Thereyurre’. It was named ‘Alice Spring’ after the wife of the South Australian Postmaster General, in the mistaken belief that it was fed from a spring in the hillside behind it. Although during dry times water may not be visible, it is still present under the sand.
