Frommer's Review
Alice is a major base for this airborne medical service that treats people living and traveling in the vast Outback. An interesting 20-minute tour featuring a video and a talk in the communications room runs every half-hour; allow another 30 minutes or so to browse the small museum and listen to some of the recorded conversations between doctors and patients. There is a nice garden cafe and a gift shop.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
