The geographical boundary between the tropical Top End and the arid Red Centre, visible as a clear transition in vegetation — from tropical savannah to open mulga and spinifex country. The Renner Springs roadhouse marks the point. A subtle but significant moment on any Stuart Highway journey. Renner Springs marks one of Australia's most significant ecological transition zones — visible with the naked eye as the landscape shifts from tropical to arid within a few kilometres.
