Sandy Way Rest Area is where the Territory reveals itself. Camping here puts you right in the Red Centre — vast desert landscapes of ancient red rock gorges, sacred Aboriginal sites, and skies so clear you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye. Whether you're in a swag under the stars or a full setup with powered sites, the experience is uniquely NT — wide open spaces, wildlife at your doorstep, and the kind of peace you simply cannot find in the city. It's remote, so carry supplies and fill up on fuel whenever you can.
