Rugged terrain with a unique
appeal when the colours change at sunset. There are no major tourist
attractions to speak of that are serviced and promoted by the local tourist authorities,
although the Tennant Creek area does offer some attractions to visitors passing on the Highway.
Places of
Interest
Tennant Creek -
a mining town which was the site of Australia's last gold rush in the 1930's.

underground mines and goldfields, try your hand at fossicking or a morning in the saddle
doing some cattle mustering.

The
Battery Hill is worth a visit for information on the gold mine days. |
