I'm wondering where people would recommend staying between Alice and
Katherine. I was hoping to avoid staying overnight at
Tennant Creek. Any favourite spots not too far off the beaten track that anyone would care to suggest? I think it'd take us about 2 days??

There are lots of dirt tracks off the main road, some to water towers or radio towers, borrow pits...etc that can be used for overnight camping!
If you do this drive
well off the road at least ½ km, & don't advertise that you are there.
Have done this many a time and have had no problems!!!!
Ps Dawn at the
Devils Marbles is something else!!!!!!
