Bald Top is located in the remote Barkly Tableland — genuine outback country where cattle stations span horizons, ancient rock formations dot the desert, and the stars are brighter than you've ever seen. Deep in the outback, this is genuine Territory — ancient landscapes, remarkable wildlife, and the kind of experiences that change the way you see Australia. Check conditions before visiting, carry water, and respect the land.
Plan your visit
In a national park, you'll usually need an NT Parks Pass, and campsites & some walks must be booked in advance.
