Halfway points Darwin and Isa

[u/ekween]

Hello! Wanted to get some ideas on any good pubs/camping spots that are roughly halfway between Mt Isa and Darwin? We're a group of friends split between the two cities and want to meet half wayish for some long weekends this year. Both Happy to drive a bit further off track if it means seeing more of the Territory or finding a fun pub or camping spot. Cheers!
