Experience Barrow Creek Telegraph Station 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. The NT's wildlife is extraordinary — from 5-metre saltwater crocs to tiny sugar gliders, from wedge-tailed eagles soaring on thermals to jabirus wading through billabongs. This tour or experience gives you access to some of Australia's most remarkable creatures in their natural habitat. Always follow your guide's instructions — this is wild Australia, not a zoo.
