010 Menzies Town Hall
Town Hall & Shire Office: First section (left hand front) built in 1896. In 1900/01 the building was extended at a cost of 3,000 pounds to include Council Chambers, administration offices, public library & reading room with a town hall located at the rear of the building. The front section was completely renovated / restored from 1985 to 1988 and the rear hall was rebuilt in 1991. Further renovations were carried out on the offices in 1999.
Clock: Folklore suggests a clock for the clock tower was sent out from England via S.S. "Orizaba" in 1905. Unfortunately Orizaba sank off the coast of Rottnest Island. Eventually a clock was installed in the tower and unveiled on 1st January 2000.

132 Flynn of the Inland
The Rev John Flynn died on 5 May 1951 and his ashes together with those of his wife Jean are buried at this site in Alice Springs.

133 Flynn of the Inland Memorial
In 1952 a large eight ton boulder, from the Devils Marbles area, was put on a low loader and driven 480 kilometres south to Alice Springs by George Nicholls and placed here as a marker for his grave.
Unfortunately the stone had been taken from the highly sacred women's site of Karlu Karlu at the Devils Marbles. It took more than 45 years of negotiations between the Arrernte Aborigines and the White custodians before this original stone was returned to its sacred site and replaced by a local stone on 4 September 1999.
While the new grave stone was dedicated and blessed with a Christian service at Alice Springs, the Warumungu and Kaytej women celebrated the return of their granite boulder at Karlu Karlu.

134
134 Flynn of the Inland
Beneath this stone rest the ashes of 'Flynn of the Inland'. 1880 - 1951.
'Flynn of the Inland', the founder of the Flying Doctor service, is one of outback Australia's most loved characters. "His vision encompassed the continent. He established the Australian Inland Mission and founded the Flying Doctor Service. He brought to lonely places a spiritual ministry and spread a mantle of safety over them by medicine and radio" aptly sums up his life.
| 
135
135 The United Church in North Australia
Flynn dreamed of an Inland cathedral where people of all faiths could worship. After his death, his friends across Australia built one in his memory.

136 The United Church
The Church was opened by the Prime Minister in 1956, and its design was a result of a national architectural competition incorporating passive cooling, local and national symbolism in its design.
