Barkly Tablelands - Outstations
79,908 km²
Huge gaps exist between this remote region and the rest of the country, making Barkly Tablelands - Outstations a sparsely populated area. It is a largely non-residential landscape where very few people live across a vast territory. The small population here lives in extreme isolation, with almost no access to the shops, schools, or health services found in other parts of the Northern Territory. This is a place of deep quiet and significant distance from urban centres.
