Alice Springs to Threeways Roadhouse, NT

There was a smoke haze in the air as we departed Alice Springs continuing our journey north, travelling approximately 530 kilometres to the Threeways Roadhouse. A fire had broken out on the Larapinta Trail that was visible from the Stuart Highway and did have us slightly concerned. According to Bushfires NT the blaze spurred by hot winds ravaged the iconic walking track for about 17 days covering 1200 square kilometres that devasted vegetation and caused irreversible losses.

Threeways Roadhouse

We love this roadhouse located on the junction of two major road train routes for its lack of rustic charm and quaint surrounds. It’s dirty, dusty, hot, and we wouldn’t want it any other way. The amenities are creepy, sparsely clean with insects galore and the facilities basic to say the least but try the barramundi for dinner and you’ll love this place as much as we do. 

Threeways - south to Alice Springs, north to Darwin or east into Queensland towards Mount Isa along the Barkly Highway
