Tennant Creek - Northern Territory
A comfortable days drive south of Katherine where the Barkly Highway from Queensland meets the Stuart Highway from Adelaide; Tennant Creek is known for the 'Three Ways Roadhouse'. It is a regional centre for the Barkly Tablelands and the vast Aboriginal Land Trust areas. To the east lies Mt Isa in Queensland and Alice Springs is a similar distance south.

Dating back to goldrush days it boasts a stone telegraph station built in 1872 and being situated on the Stuart Highway means it has good service facilities and accommodation.

Prospect for gold or visit the telegraph station and Recreation Lake; see the Devils Pebbles before taking the tour south to see the Devils Marbles, a natural sculpture of huge round, delicately balanced boulders.
