Attack Creek Historical Reserve

If you're travelling along the Stuart Highway and want to stretch your legs then Attack Creek is a good place to stop.

The site is a wayside stop that pays homage to explorer John McDouall Stuart.

Attack Creek commemorates where Stuart turned back from his 1860 expedition to cross Australia after a hostile encounter with Warumungu Aboriginal people.
