Arltunga Historical Reserve

Arltunga Historical Reserve is a deserted gold rush town located in the Northern Territory of Australia, about 110 kilometres east of Alice Springs.

It holds major historical significance as the first major European settlement in Central Australia. The reserve has a rich history, including early Indigenous history, mining, a mission, and recent developments. The town remains well-preserved due to the use of local stone in construction and the harsh climate. Notable people, such as Bushman Ben Nicker, were born near the Arltunga goldfields. If you're interested in experiencing a significant relic of Australia's gold rush era, Arltunga Historical Reserve is a must-visit destination with its fascinating history and stunning landscapes.
