Daly Waters

Destination

Daly Waters may be small, but it has earned a reputation as one of the Northern Territory’s most memorable outback towns. Rich in history and full of character, it has welcomed travellers for generations, leaving many to add their own small mark to its story along the way.

The town played an important role in Australia’s early development, from the Overland Telegraph Line to pioneering aviation routes and wartime operations. Today, that history sits comfortably alongside the quirky personality that has made Daly Waters famous. Its legendary pub, covered in decades of mementos left by visitors from around the world, has become a destination in its own right.

A bus to Daly Waters arrives in a town that embraces its individuality. Unmistakably outback and proudly unconventional, Daly Waters offers a glimpse of the Northern Territory’s history, humour and hospitality, all wrapped into one unforgettable stop.
