History/Origin | The name Barkly Highway was in use during the war, originating from the major feature - Barkly Tableland - which the highway crosses. The Barkly Tableland was named by William Landsborough on 6 December 1861 (whilst exploring the western regions of Queensland) after Sir Henry Barkly, the then Governor of Victoria. |
