Daly Waters is located approximately 274 kilometres south of Katherine near the junction of the Stuart and Carpentaria Highways. It is serviced by the famous Daly Waters Pub, a true outback pub armoured with corugated iron, draped with bougainvillea and bedecked with decades of memorabilia.
Daly Waters has the amazing distinction of being Australia's first international airfield. It has an interesting aviation history. It was a centre for the London to Sydney air race of 1926, a World War II airforce base and a refuelling stop for Qantas. The original Qantas hangar and associated buildings located between the town and the Stuart Highway can be easily explored.
