Explorers Way

Located 170 kms north of Tennant Creek long the Stuart Highway. It was originally established by Dr Frederick Renner whilst working on the Overland Telegraph line in 1877. This small settlement was named after Dr Frederick Renner, who provided medical services during the construction of the Overland Telegraph Line in 1872. The old style roadhouse features 27 air-conditioned rooms, powered caravan sites and shady campground accommodation.

The Renner Springs Roadhouse itself is a World War Two army hut relocated from Banka Banka Station (established in 1885) 50 kilometres away. Renner Springs provides fuel, meals, bar facilities, motel accommodation and campsites to the traveller on the Explorers Way. (Copyright & Courtesy of Toursim NT)

Overlander Way

The Overlander's Way tourism drive links Tennant Creek and Townsville via the outback towns of Camooweal, Mount Isa, Cloncurry, and Charters Towers. Otherwise known as the Barkly and Flinders Highways, it retraces the footsteps of pioneering cattlemen who drove their herds across the vast inland through the Barkly Tablelands.

Barkly Homestead is located 210 kms from Tennant Creek at the junction of the Barkly and Tablelands Highways. The homestead is a popular stopover on the way to and from Queensland and offers fuel and supplies, motel accommodation, camping sites and a licensed bar and restaurant.

The Barkly tablelands run east from Tennant Creek towards the Queensland border and are among the most important cattle grazing areas in the Northern Territory.
