SKI'er,
Most of the trip there will be
places to refill that will suit your range.
One part is the Barkly Highway from Camoolweal to the Three Ways (north of
Tennant Creek) which though probably within your range can be thrown out by the heavy winds.
The Barkly Homestead which is along this route has fuel but be warned it is very expensive.
Incidentally if you don't particularly want to go to
Tennant Creek turn right at The Three Ways and you are off to
Darwin, turn left and
Tennant Creek is down the road a bit.

I was running on LPG and needed to fill up at every spot that had it.

You will note Barkly Highway is included in this journey and fill was at Renner Springs in lieu of Elliott and we filled at Three Ways too.
The return trip was quite a good drive and other routes from
Charters Towers could be selected.
Check this out for distance between towns
