Down The Track

Between the tropical Top End and the arid Red Centre, the Stuart Highway traverses a climatic gradient from the hilly, dense vegetation of the north to the flat, crispy desert of central Australia. The "track" was once proclaimed "the most sing-on-able road in the world." There isn't much else to do. Prom Katherine to Tennant Creek, the Stuart Hwy. passes through some of the emptiest and most uninspiring stretches in the outback. The people here consider their land "the Never Never," referring to the tendency residents have to never, never leave. But chances are ten to one that after canoeing down the Katherine River, bathing in the hot springs of Mataranka, or taking in the Devil's Marbles and some mining history near Tennant Creek, you will leave—and quite contentedly—singing "Waltzing Matilda" as you head down the Stu¬art Hwy in search of more blessedly populated ground.
