The Northern Territory is an outdoor lovers paradise - the best-known desert destination in Australia and a must-visit destination for any Australian (or visitor to Australia) who loves the outback. As well as being the home of two of the countrys most famous parks - Uluru/Kata Tjuta and Kakadu - there are dozens more just waiting to be explored. These abound with almost endless walks, 4WD treks, sites of interest, lookouts, activities, wildlife encounters, adventures and camps. This book will help you make the best of your time in the NTs natural places by highlighting the very best that the territory has to offer, whatever your interest in the great outdoors. The book is richly illustrated with over 150 full-colour photographs and dozens of detailed maps. A summary table, indicating facilities and highlights, is included to help the reader find exactly the right place for the occasion.
