Dave Ives is a perpetually happy American Australian living in Alice Springs.
Originally from New Hampshire, Dave joined the US Air Force as a medic and worked in the US until he was posted to Womera in outback South Australia. He met his Filipino wife there.
They eventually returned to the US but Australia’s Cupid’s arrow had pierced Dave’s heart. He returned to Womera as a civilian and then moved to Alice Springs with his wife and two girls.
Dave Ives is Alice Springs’s biggest fan. He has written six books about his life and released songs about Alice Springs. This is Dave’s Territory Story.
