Summary:"Alice Springs has been a traditional service provider for central Australia and continues to be. Its remote character has created a place of 'pure' serviceability. 'Pure' in the sense that it has no traditional primary production to fall back on (mining, farmland, manufacturing, sea port) to provide a sense of why it exists, as other settlements seem to possess explaining their initial and ongoing presence. Its existence is a question of service, which drives the local economy. These geographical factors provide a place rich in 'serviceable' research material, a valuable tool to gauge society. Bourdieuan theories assist with service and society understanding"--
