Tanami Track
ALICE SPRINGS TO HALLS CREEK
Tanami Track
The Tanami Track is one of Australia’s last great outback frontiers, linking Central Australia with Western Australia’s Kimberley. Stretching through vast desert plains, it’s a journey of wide horizons, endless skies and striking contrasts. Along the way, visit the renowned Warlukurlangu Artists in Yuendumu and marvel at the wild beauty of Wolfe Creek Crater, one of the world’s largest meteorite sites. Take a detour and discover the amazing birdlife, desert wildflowers and vivid sunsets of Lake Gregory and Stretch Lagoon before cruising into Halls Creek, a little over 1000 kilometres from Alice Springs.
