What our travelers think about their stay

Timothée D.

Seasoned Traveller

Tennant Creek is one of those few towns in the middle of nowhere, in the heart of the red desert of the Northern Territories.

My suggestion

Avoid the summer when the temperatures exceed 40°C on a daily basis, and avoid all activity.

My suggestion

On the road, stop off at the artificial lake of Mary Ann, visit the Nyinkka Nyunyu cultural centre to learn about aboriginal culture, and then see the mining centre of Battery Hill. Finally, don't miss the Devils Marbles in the south.
