Summary
Alice Springs, Australia’s remote desert town, is rising as a surprising LGBTQIA+ haven — now ranked among the nation’s top ten most inclusive cities, with nearly 2% of couples identifying as same-sex and 67% of those being female pairs. Long dubbed the unofficial lesbian capital, its welcoming vibe stems from decades of feminist roots, safety, and a thriving queer arts scene, drawing LGBTQIA+ folks from across the country. A 2021 census analysis by Charles Darwin University highlights its unique position as the only remote city on the list, fueled by female-led service industries. With the 2026 census set to track gender diversity for the first time, the town’s evolving identity — shaped by historic events like the 1983 women-only peace camp — promises even deeper insights into its inclusive future.
