Daly Waters (NT)
Daly Waters is a small but iconic outback locality in the Northern Territory, located along the Stuart Highway between Tennant Creek and Katherine. Known for its historic pub and rich transport heritage, Daly Waters has long served as a key stop for travellers crossing Australia’s interior.
Established in the late 19th century, Daly Waters developed as part of the Overland Telegraph Line, which connected Australia’s north and south and played a crucial role in communication across the continent. The telegraph station formed the foundation of the settlement, supporting workers and travellers in a remote and challenging environment.
The area later became an important aviation hub, with Daly Waters hosting one of Australia’s earliest international airfields. During the early 20th century, it served as a refuelling and stopover point for long-distance flights, further cementing its role in connecting remote Australia with the wider world.
Today, Daly Waters is best known for its iconic outback pub, which has become a destination in its own right. Covered in memorabilia from visitors across the globe, the pub reflects the unique culture and character of outback travel and remains a lively gathering place in an otherwise quiet settlement.
Surrounded by open savannah, red earth, and vast skies, Daly Waters captures the essence of the Northern Territory’s inland landscapes. Its small size, rich history, and strong sense of place make it a memorable stop for those travelling the Stuart Highway.
