Drive the Explorer's Way
Follow the same route of famous Australian explorer John McDouall Stuart and travel through red desert country via the real Australian outback en route to the Territory’s lush northern tropics.
This road links the Territory from top to bottom, encompassing some of its best-known natural icons; the Devils Marbles, Litchfield National Park, Nitmuluk National Park, Cutta Cutta Caves and Bitter Springs.
In the south, the road is straddled by the East and West MacDonnell Ranges.
You can get a snapshot of the Territory in 7 days, but with so much to explore, it’s easy to stay much longer.
