| History/Origin |
Named after Stan Cawood who moved to Alice Springs in 1928 and became involved in tourism in Central Australia. Stan, a pioneer of great renown, played a major role in the early days of the tourism industry in the Centre as well as in the transport industry. He was also involved in the earliest search for the lost aviators, Hitchcock and Anderson, and their aircraft, the Kookaburra, which was located in very isolated desert country in 1929. |
