Summary

Panoramic view of Alice Springs from Anzac Hill, in four parts, each part consisting of several individual photographs. During this time Alice Springs Anzac Hill camp was used for transport company workers. The photograph shows tents and facilities in regimental order on the campground. Once the troops started to arrive in Alice Springs to support the construction gangs working on a proper road to Darwin they realised that their work went towards protecting the whole of northern Australia. Troops and equipment needed to travel quickly to Darwin. A year after this photograph was taken the population consisted of 956 civilians and 4,600 service personnel in Alice Springs
