Northern Territories Sunset

Title – Northern Territories Sunset
Date – August 1998
Location - Northern Territories - Australia

Sunset over the Mary river system in the Northern Territories of Australia is a glorious time, with the waders flying across the sunset you can be in no doubt of the grandeur of Australia and the vast nature of this beautiful country. With no substantial urban areas within hundreds of miles, this part of the Australian outback is not the barren red soil we are familiar with, but it is just as dangerous for the inexperienced traveller. Getting lost is as easy as stepping off the ‘yellow brick road’ and the crocodiles just under the surface of every body of water, make it a place to visit only with someone who knows it well.

Australia is indeed a vast country and planning is vitally important when considering a trip. Getting from one town to the next can take a lot longer then you had first imagined when looking at the map. Taking advice from locals as well as fellow travellers is a resource that should be used at every opportunity. Beyond The Blue run Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop that give you a head-start by providing Destination Advice to those attending.
