Tennant Creek

22 September

Apparently the water here at Banka Banka is plentiful and we were told we could use it to wash our cars, so we did. So nice to be able to get rid of all the red dust from the cars and trailers.

Back on the Stuart Highway south, stopping off at a few historic sites along the way and detouring along the old Stuart Highway where we could to see sights such as Churchills Head Rock.



We stopped off at the John Flynn memorial just outside the Threeways road house then on to Tennant Creek where we ended up setting up camp at the Outback Caravan Park because there was so much to see here.

First stop the Bill Allen Lookout with views across to the various points of interest, then onto the Visitors Centre,
next lunch at the Jajjikari Cafe at the Nyinkka Nyunyu Art and Cultural Centre and a look around the centre then on to the Battery Hill Mining Centre

This is a battery stamp

for an underground tour



and a look over the Battery Hill Mineral museum with minerals from all over the world on display.

Quick shop to top up some supplies, before the shop closed, in the only grocery store in town.
Then back to camp for a big catch up with the laundry.
