What our travelers think of their stay
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.
Tennant Creek is an isolated town in the northern territory, near Three Ways, where the roads to the south and west intersect. This town, founded for the mining of mineral deposits, particularly of gold, experienced a boom in the 1930s.
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.
