NT - Barkly Homestead



Barkly Homestead is 261 klms west of Camooweal on the Barkly Hwy and our first taste of the Northern Territory hospitality. This is a roadhouse and a camping ground. We decided to spend the night here as they had a swimming pool and some grass sites for $24.00 per powered site.
We had a lovely spot beside a pepper tree and close to one of the several amenities blocks. Everything was old but clean.
The bonus for me was $12.00 roast beef and vegetable dinner for campers. Count us in. It was delicious, roast beef, mashed potatoes, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, and gravy. Why would you cook? The restaurant and bar was packed. It always amazes me, out here in the middle of nowhere. Where do all the people come from?
Great stay.
