Alice Dealer is good. Some even travel from Darwin for services.
Avoid Darwin dealer.  “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

I'd still prefer going to suttons motors (Alice Springs) to get serviced but Darwin LR have been pretty good for doing the services on my MY08.
They've done the 6 month and 12 month services as well as the high pressure and brake servo recalls. they took a three days to do the two recalls, which is way over the book time, but i'm just glad someone in darwin can do it. Although i did ask them to reprogramme my key fob so that one press of the unlock button unlocked all doors, but they said they didn't have the computer to do it 
They're still using the Valvolene Problend/Durablend oils but I haven't had any change in engine noise.
I've also asked them to have a look at several things which they claim to have. Hard to tell though.
LR Parts manager (Chris) is good as well, not completely up to speed on the D3 but is eager to help, which is why I like using him for parts
