Barkly Tourism

Listing Details

This is no theme park with a glossy image. It's rough, it's tough, it's hard red country, but the intensity of its beauty will simply astound you! Born of the ancient legends of the Aboriginal Dreamtime and forged by the cattlemen and the miners, this is Tennant Creek, Australia's last goldrush town, where the two great northern highways meet. Perfect for those with a spirit of adventure, Tennant is also idyllic for a peacerful rest whilst on your long journey. The visitor information centre at Battery Hill Mining Centre, located 1.5km to the east of the town, provides brochures, information, maps and friendly staff with that invaluable local know-how. Take a gold stamp-battery tour, underground mine tour or go goldpanning. For Aboriginal culture in a world-class centre, visit Nyinkka Nyunyu in the main street. Authentic, owned and operated by local Aboriginal people, visit this centre to learn about ancient culture and really belonging to the surrounding landscape.
