Introducing Katherine to Alice
The Stuart Hwy from Darwin to Alice Springs is still referred to as ‘the Track’ – it has been since WWII, when it was literally a dirt track connecting the Territory’s two main towns, roughly following the Overland Telegraph Line. This stretch of highway has a few notable diversions, such as Mataranka’s thermal pool, Tennant Creek’s Nyinkka Nyunyu cultural centre, the Devil’s Marbles and the self-proclaimed alien centre of Australia (uh-huh).
