Giant sculpture of an Aboriginal people
Situated 123km north of Alice Springs, Aileron is a great rest stop along the Stuart highway. It offers meals, accommodation, fuel and is located close to many historical reserves. The 17 metre tall statue created by Mark Egan that calls Aileron home was erected in 2005 and took 18 months to construct (along with the Hollywood style Aileron sign). The woman and child were then erected December 2008 to demonstrate the size and scale of the man overlooking the small establishment.

Arltunga is located on the 5 000 hectare Arltunga Historical Reserve. Arltunga was officially central Australia’s first town, that was born out of a gold rush after gold was found in dry creek beds in the surrounding areas during 1887. Arltunga was producing gold until 1913 when production stopped. The area is now open for exploration and is filled with many old ruins. The police station and jail (displayed above) was restored after rumours were told of gold being hidden within the walls that were later destroyed in search of it.
