The local government act was amended effective 1 January 2014 and changed the name of MacDonnell Shire to MacDonnell Region.
The MacDonnell Region comprises an area of approximately 268,784 square kilometres
The shire covers the bottom one/fifth approximately of the Northern Territory, across its full breathe, with South Australia to the south. The countryside is desert, with the 500 kilometre long east-west trending MacDonnell Ranges forming a series of parallel ridges and ranges across the northern half of the shire. This includes the highest point in the Northern Territory, Mt Zeil at 1531 metres, in fact the ranges contain the highest five mountains in the territory.
The south-east portion is part of the Simpson Desert, a wilderness of parallel linear sand-dunes, some up to 200 kilometres long, and the highest in Australia, trending north north-west to south south-east. The rest of the shire is also desert, with only occasional waterholes forming any permanent water.
The only town of note in the region is Alice Springs, but this is excised from the shire, as is the tourist village of Yulara at Uluru. The MacDonnell Shire consist of a number of scattered indigenous communities and pastoral stations. The population is 6 982 (est. 2013). The Stuart Highway heads north-south through the centre of the shire. A bitumen Road also connects the highway to Uluru, and the western MacDonnell Ranges tourist drive. Other roads are gravel, and many parts have no roads or people at all.
Alice Springs relies largely on tourism. The telegraph station, Royal Flying Doctor base, botanic gardens, wildlife parks, indigenous art galleries, and museums are some of many attractions in the town itself. The tourist drive west into the MacDonnell Ranges stops at several spectacular gorges and gaps, the Gosses Bluff meteorite crater, and Hermannsburg Mission. The tourist drive east is less popular, but no less scenic, stopping again at several gorges, the Ross River Station, and historic Arltunga Goldfield (which is just within the Central Desert Shire). Other day trips from Alice Springs include the Kings Canyon, Palm Valley, Chambers Pillar, Henbury Meteorite Craters, and the under-rated Rainbow Valley.
The iconic Uluru and Kata-Tjuta are a 6 hour one-way drive from Alice Springs. In winter expect hordes of tourists who fly in -take a picture-then immediately fly out again, twenty-eight tour coaches in the car park, an expensive entry fee, aggro private guides trying to conduct private tours in public areas, and various no go zones due to cultural sensitivities. Meanwhile at the Yulara tourist village, people in suits fly in for conferences, without ever going outside to see the countryside. The hotels are sometimes over-run with native mice. If all this sounds awful, well it is, but no more than any other mass marketed tourist attraction around the globe.
The shire contains the Malbunka copper mine, from which the famous azurite suns are sold around the world, and is one of Australia's most collected specimens. Meteorite collectors would also be familiar with specimens from the Henbury Meteorite Craters. Beyond this the shire holds little in the way of specimen locations or mines. The Arltunga Goldfield, Winnecke Goldfield, and Harts Range gemstone field, are all just over the border in the Central Desert Shire.
