Wauchope is located 114 kilometres south of Tennant Creek, on the Stuart Highway. Wauchope, with its old pub, is a good place to cool off, have a party, meet the locals or join in one of the unusual events held there.
Nearby is the region's most spectacular landmark - the Devil's Marbles - thousands of huge precariously balanced boulders the Aboriginal people believe are the eggs of the Dreamtime's Rainbow Serpent.
The historic Wauchope Roadhouse and pub was built in 1938 to service the needs of the nearby wolfram (used in the manufacture of tungsten) mines and is full of memorabilia from that era. It is a friendly well appointed wayside inn offering fuel, meals, bar facilities, comfortable motel accommodation, camping and a swimming pool.
