This huge expanse of the Northern Territory takes in the Tanami Desert in the west and sweeps across to the large cattle stations of the Barkley Tableland in the east. This is real Australian outback country, very sparsely populated and where everything is a long way from everything else. There are no tourist attractions of any note, although the Tennant Creek area does offer some attractions to visitors passing on the Highway.

Tennant Creek region is where visitors can reach Davenport Range National Park, a relatively new park that is rich in Aboriginal dreamtime lore. The park entry is 87 km south of Tennant Creek and a 4WD is strongly recommended. Get park information information and maps beforehand. 100km south of Tennant Creek is the Devils Marbles which are a unique formation of huge precariously balanced boulders known as "Karlu-Karlu" by the Aboriginals. In Aboriginal folklore the rocks are the eggs of the Dreamtime Rainbow Serpent. |
