Attack Creek (Stuart Monument)
Attack Creek (Stuart Monument)
Attack Creek (Stuart Monument) is a free rest and camping area situated on the Stuart Highway, approximately 72–74 kilometres north of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory.
The site commemorates explorer John McDouall Stuart's 1860 expedition, during which he and companions William Kekwick and Benjamin Head were turned back by Warumungu Aboriginal people at this waterhole — the northernmost point of that journey.
A stone cairn memorial enclosed by a steel post-and-chain fence marks the spot, accompanied by interpretive signage. The camping area is open to tents, caravans, camper trailers, motorhomes, and big rigs, with ample space for overnight stops.
Basic facilities include toilets, bins, and picnic shelters. No drinking water is reliably available on site, so travellers should carry their own supply. There is no phone signal and no powered sites. The area is pet-friendly and free to use.
