2026-06-28 Highway 1 - Northern Territory

Today, we follow Australia's Highway 1 for a short stretch.

Highway 1 in Australia is not a continuous road in the traditional sense, but rather a vast network approximately 14,500 km long that circles the entire continent. It is particularly important in the Northern Territory (NT), where it serves as the link between remote regions and major transportation hubs. In the NT, Highway 1 consists of various sections that together form a route of about 1,400 km. It runs roughly from the border with Western Australia in the west to the border with Queensland in the east. In the west, Highway 1 comes from Kununurra (WA) and continues as the Victoria Highway to Katherine. From Katherine, a major section branches off northward toward Darwin. This section follows the well-known Stuart Highway. Also from Katherine, Highway 1 continues southward on the Stuart Highway to Daly Waters. There, it turns east and follows the Carpentaria Highway to the border with Queensland (near Wollogorang).

We depart from Newcastle Waters (YNCW) and head north. We land at Murranji Station (YMJI) and Dunmarra (YX21) and follow Highway A87 to Daly Waters (YDLW), where Highway 1 joins A87. Only 5 miles north, we land at Kalala Homestead (YX55). We follow Highway 1 and land at Vermelha (YX47), Rombola Family Farms (YX48), and Homebush Park (YHBP) before we finish the flight at Tindal (YPTN), a joint military and civilian field.

The flight is 200 miles long with 7 landings. We want to cruise at about 150 knots. I will be in the PAC P-750. As always, please fly what you like.

If you want to use the ORBX PAC P-750, there is a 2024 version available. To my knowledge, the update was free. In case you find the exhaust heat effect way too big, drop me an e-mail, and I'll send you a new exterior model file that resolves the problem for me.

The flight plans are here. Newcastle Waters is not in the GTN database. The GTN flight plan departs from Tennant Creek (YTNK).
