Larapinta is a suburb of the town of Alice Springs, in the Northern Territory, Australia. It is on the western side of Alice Springs.
The name of the suburb is an Aboriginal name for the Finke River. [3]
The Finke River, or Larapinta in the Indigenous Arrernte language, is a river in central Australia, whose bed courses through the Northern Territory and the state of South Australia. It is one of four main rivers of the Lake Eyre Basin and thought to be the oldest riverbed in the world. It flows for only a few days a year. When this happens, its water usually disappears into the sands of the Simpson Desert, rarely if ever reaching Lake Eyre.
