Top Tourist Attractions In Australia
Taking off to find some of the top tourist attractions in Australia, we decided to take off towards Mt Isa then Adels Grove again we plan to take the full Four and a half weeks to see the top end from Adels Grove to Darwin, then taking the Stuart Highway to Alice Springs Uluru and Kata Tjuta, then off to Birdsville and back home.
New Direction
After leaving Adels Grove on our third trip into the area we head towards Bowthorn Station on the first day we take a break at Kingfisher Camp, where we visit the kiosk and buy a Tee Shirt and some extra supplies, that we are running low on.
Lonely Dusty Roads
Next we head off towards Hells Gate an endless long lonely dusty road, with gates that must
be left as you find them. Until we reached The Savannah Way we did not see one other vehicle along the road.
We were now finding it much faster driving along the Savannah Way which follows the Gulf for over 800 kilometers, and apart from the western end near Mataranka it is all gravel.
No Petrol!
We arrive at the Hells Gate garage to fill up with petrol, but we now find that the camp ground and garage are closed,This is not one of the top tourist attractions in Australia, you can’t get petrol and you can no longer camp.
Now you may have to use your reserves to get you to the next Service station. We have 2 tanks which give us around 1200kms , we also carry 2 Gerry cans of emergency fuel so we were ok.
We Keep Driving
We now head towards Roper Bar where we camp for the night and refuel, heading towards Mataranka, next morning, stopping to see the sights, before continuing on to Katherine for the next couple of nights, to take in the beauty of this area, but that’s another post, as Katherine is one of the top tourist attractions in Australia and it needs its own story.

Early Croydon History
There is just one pub left today, were you can stay overnight or in the Motel behind, or you can camp under the stars, giving you a feel of the real outback.
