Located on the Stuart Highway 534 km south of
Darwin and 177 km south of
Katherine. Originally meant to be the southern terminus for the infamous North Australian railway - 'the line to nowhere' This was, in fact, 8 km further south at Birdum. Today Larrimah is just another stopover point on the Stuart Highway with a roadhouse, a caravan park and a delightful outback pub, The Larrimah Hotel. This was originally the pub at Birdum until it was moved to Larrimah in 1952. There are only a few relics left of the railway line which was closed down in 1976. A park across from the pub has information boards giving the history of the area.
