The Stuart Highway is one of Australia's major highways. It runs from Darwin, Northern Territory, in the north, via Tennant Creek and Alice Springs, to Port Augusta, South Australia, in the south — a distance of 2,834 km (1,761 mi). Its northern and southern extremities are segments of Australia's Highway 1. The principal north-south route through the central interior of mainland Australia, the highway is often referred to simply as "The Track".© Wikipedia
The Stuart Highway runs from Port Augusta in South Australian to Darwin. We joined this Highway at Threeways Roadhouse and travelled to Kakadu. This section of the Highway is easy to drive on as it is in very good condition and fairly wide. There are long straight stretches which make it easy to pass slower vehicles.
Keep an eye out for emergency landing areas marked on parts of the Highway for the RFDS - you are asked not to stop on these sections.
