Overview

Elliott sits almost halfway between Darwin and Alice Springs on the Stuart Highway, giving residents and travellers easy road access through the heart of the Barkley Region. With a 2021 census population of 287, the town is a close‑knit community rooted in Jingili country, known traditionally as Kulumindini, and enjoys a hot semi‑arid climate with a wet season from late November to March and a dry season the rest of the year.

Everyday life is supported by a government primary‑secondary school, a public library service operated by Barkly Regional Council and Tennant Creek Public Library offering internet, printing and loan facilities, and the nearby Walanybirri Park for recreation. The town also looks to the future, being earmarked for a major solar‑panel installation as part of the Sun Cable project, adding a modern industry dimension to its remote‑outback lifestyle.
