Along with the Royal Flying Doctor Service, the School of the Air is an outback legend, also started in Alice Springs.
Ever wondered how children in remote parts of the Northern Territory and elsewhere go to school? The answer: the School of the Air.
This is the world’s biggest classroom and it’s open to the public. Take a visit and you’ll be able to see firsthand how children on remote cattle stations (‘ranches’ – but PLEASE don’t call them that!), go to school.
The School of the Air is located in Head Street (in the part of town known as ‘Northside’ or ‘Braitling’). It’s about a 30 minute walk from the town centre or a 5 minute drive up the north Stuart Highway.
Tours operate daily from 9am-5pm. A small entry fee applies, which assists with the running of the centre.
