Tennant Creek
Tennant Creek is the hub of the Barkly Tablelands where the Explorer and Overlander Ways
meet.
Tennant, as locals know it, was the site of Australia's last gold rush in the
1920s and was at that time the third largest gold producer in Australia. Some gold
mining continues in the area today, but the town had its origins in the 'Overland
Telegraph' that once linked Melbourne to London. Constructed in the 1870s, the telegraph
line forged a corridor through the middle of the continent that the Explorer's Way and
The Ghan train now travel.
Tennant Creek also has a strong Aboriginal heritage and the
culture can be seen in the local art and craft galleries. A superb example is Nyinkka
Nyunyu - a unique indigenous art and cultural centre where travellers can learn about
Aboriginal life and history of the area.
Attractions - Battery Hill Mining Centre - 08 8962 1281, Mary Ann Dam Recreation Lake
and Nyinkka Nyunya Cultural Centre.
