Brisbane to Tennant Creek: Distance, driving time & road trip stops
Brisbane to Tennant Creek road trip: Roma and Charleville
The edge of the outback is met in major country town Roma. Top things to do in Roma include learning about the Aussie oil and gas industry at the Big Rig and watching seemingly chaotic cattle auctions at the Roma Saleyards.
In Morven, the Warrego Highway meets the Landsborough Highway. The quickest route turns at that junction, but it’s worth continuing west for a short distance to Charleville. Things to do in Charleville include the secret World War II base, the Charleville Cosmos Centre and the Royal Flying Doctor Service Visitor Centre.
