Anzac Hill, War memorial hill in Alice Springs, Australia.
Anzac Hill is a 608-meter summit near Alice Springs in Australia's interior. From the top, you can see across the entire town and the distant mountain ranges that surround it.
The memorial on the hill was built in 1934 to honor Australian soldiers from World War I. It became an important place where locals and visitors remember the country's military past.
The Arrernte Aboriginal people recognize this location by two traditional names: Untyeyetwelye and Atnelkentyarliweke, reflecting their ancestral connection to the land.
You can reach the summit by hiking the Lions Walk Trail or driving up Anzac Hill Road. The best times to visit are early morning or late afternoon when the sun is less intense.
The summit serves as a surveying reference point for mapmakers and surveyors who need precise measurements. Most visitors never notice this practical scientific purpose.
