Tennant Creek is a town located in the northern territory of Australia. It is named after a pastoralist John Tennant who came from the south of Australia in sign of gratitude for his financial help. Tennant Creek has a population of 3900 of which 1500 are Aboriginal or Terros Strait Islanders. Gold was discovered in the same area giving it therefore an opening of richness. People also some times call Australia, Tennant Creek, and the Gold Rush. Tennant Creek has a warm climate of usually 40 degrees. The land is mainly reddish in colour, thus the boulders also known as devils marbles are also a reddish-brown.
