Renner Springs 

Renner Springs is a small town situated approximately 158 kilometres north of Tennant Creek.

It was first established when Dr Frederick Renner saw a flock of birds whilst working on the Overland Telegraph Line in 1877. He found that the Birds were drawn to this particular area by the natural springs, which was later named Mud Springs. It wasn't until the 1950's that the roadhouse was established.

The Renner Springs Roadhouse itself is a World War Two army hut relocated from Banka Banka Station (established in 1885) 50 kilometres away. Renner Springs provides fuel, meals, bar facilities, motel accommodation and campsites to the traveller on the Explorers Way. Renner Springs is one of those roadhouse stops with plenty of Territory character and a friendly atmosphere and an interesting stop to plot a short stay on your travels.
