Canteen Creek, also known as Owairtilla,[1] is an Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory of Australia, located about 183 km southeast of Tennant Creek, on Alyawarr land.[2] At the time of the 2021 census, it had a population of 147.[3] The community is accessible by road, and is also serviced by a small airstrip located about 500 metres northeast of the settlement.[1] Community facilities include a general store, a church, a health centre, and a coeducational P-12 school.
Canteen Creek is a dry community, meaning no alcohol can be brought into the community.[1]
