  • Arafura Resources Social Impact Assessment March 2016 37
    3.2.3 Alice Springs The town of Alice Springs, initially called Stuart, grew up around the Telegraph Station on the Todd River and captured the Australian imagination as a ‘frontier’ land settled by cattle pioneers following the trails of early explorers. Current transport routes, geographical features and place names reflect the travels and aspirations of these early settlers and their colonial masters. In 1860, the Scottish-born explorer John McDouall Stuart travelled through, naming the MacDonnell Ranges after the Governor of South Australia and writing in glowing terms of the Central Australian landscape, which he 37 believed held out excellent prospects for pastoral development (Carment 1991). In 1863, what is now the Northern Territory was transferred from New South Wales to South Australia. In October 1870, the South Australian Government decided to build a telegraph line from Port Augusta to Port Darwin to link with a sub-sea cable to Britain, the first of many nation-building projects associated with the Northern Territory. The work began under the supervision of Charles Todd, with new telegraph stations at Charlotte Waters, Alice Springs, Barrow Creek and Powell Creek. Planning a route for the telegraph line brought in explorers such as WC Gosse who named Ayers Rock in 1873 after South Australian Premier, Sir Henry Ayres, while Alice Springs was the name given to the springs at the telegraph station after Todd’s wife, Alice. The present town of Alice Springs was named after Stuart and proclaimed in 1888. It was close to the Alice Springs Telegraph Station and just north of Heavitree Gap.

Finally, it expresses a conclusion about how best the balance can be struck between the interests of the individual and the state on this much debated topic. ........................................................................................................ 77 Driving whilst disqualified – A case for change – Julian R Murphy and Hugo Moodie This article highlights the authors’ concern at the approach of Northern Territory courts to sentencing for the offence of driving whilst disqualified. Particular concern is expressed at the impact on Indigenous Territorians. It is posited that this approach rests on an unstable precedential foundation, lacks cogent justification in sentencing principles and is an inefficacious
