The Attack Creek Memorial is situated on the Attack Creek Historical Reserve, located on the Stuart Highway 74 kilometres north of
Tennant Creek.
The memorial recalls that 'On 25 June 1860
John McDouall Stuart and his two companions William Kekwick and Benjamin Head reached Attack Creek the most northerly point of that expedition. Hostile natives and illness forced the party to return'. A short walk down the creek from
the monument you can see where the
old Stuart Highway once ran to the east of the current road.
