Daly Waters, Rural settlement in Northern Territory, Australia
Located at the intersection of Carpentaria and Stuart Highways, Daly Waters features natural springs and serves travelers between Darwin and Alice Springs.
John McDouall Stuart discovered and named the springs after Sir Dominick Daly, Governor of South Australia, during his third expedition across Australia in 1862.
The Jingili people maintain strong connections to this land, where significant Dreaming tracks intersect and native title rights extend over the town.
The settlement offers accommodations, fuel services, and dining options at its central pub, positioned 620 kilometers south of Darwin on the Stuart Highway.
The Daly Waters Airfield served as a refueling stop for the 1919 London to Melbourne air race and later became an operational base during World War II.
