Tennant Creek & Barkly Region

Tennant Creek & Barkly Region

The Barkly Region is located between Alice Springs and Katherine with Tennant Creek at its centre. The region stretches from the old Telegraph Station at Barrow Creek in the south, to the historical droving township of Newcastle Waters in the north, and east to the Queensland border.

The traditional owners of the land surrounding Tennant Creek are the Warumungu people. You can experience their culture and hear about their stories at the Nyinkka Nyunyu cultural centre, situated in Tennant Creek.

You can camp out at the Karlu Karlu Devlis Marbles and see the marbles glow red and change colour in the early morning light and setting sun. Enjoy a walk or a hike in the Davenport Range National Park, or get adventurous with self-drive touring across the Barkly Tablelands.
