Barkley Homestead NT

Barkley Homestead NT is a remote roadhouse situated on the Barkly Highway, halfway between Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory and Camooweal in Queensland. It is the first and only stop for travellers crossing the border into the Territory, providing welcome relief from an overall journey of over 460km between towns.


The Homestead provides a range of services to a broad customer base, including the local cattle stations, mining organisations, the trucking industry, aspects of aviation, both recreational and commercial, road repair crews, and most predominantly the many tourists seeking the marvels of the Australian outback.

For pilots the well maintained airstrip provides an opportunity to land and stay overnight if needed. They can also take a break from a long flight, and refresh with a good meal. AVGAS is available, and JetA1 can be requested in advance.
