T
Written by Touringuide TeamElliott is a small, remote settlement in the Katherine region of the Northern Territory, serving as a rest stop for travellers crossing the Top End. The community has limited services—a single shop for supplies and public facilities—making it essential to plan ahead if you're passing through. The area is characterised by sparse development and open landscape typical of inland NT. As a transit point rather than a destination, Elliott offers a chance to stretch legs and refuel before continuing your journey into more remote regions.
