Flynn Trail - A Heritage Tour In Alice Springs
John Flynn (1880-1951) was an Australian Presbyterian minister who founded the Australian Inland Mission (AIM) and ministered to the spiritual, social and medical needs of people in the Outback. AIM later separated into Frontier Services and the Presbyterian Inland Mission, as well as founding what became the Royal Flying Doctor Service, the world's first air ambulance.
Using the Flying Doctor Service network, the School of the Air was established in Alice Springs in 1951. This radio service provided children living in remote areas the opportunity to interact with other children, ask questions of their teacher and supplement their correspondence lessons.
This self-guided heritage tour 'Flynn Trail' takes you on a journey across Alice Springs and the life and achievements of John Flynn who played a crucial role in opening up Central Australia to second people's.
