Saltwater Croc - By Stephen Barnett

Start with a trip to the Northern Territory, home to some of our nation's most revered natural treasures. The immense and breathtaking Kakadu National Park is one of only a few World Heritage areas on earth listed for both natural and cultural values. This unique example of complex ecosystems is home to breathtaking vistas and abundant wildlife, including large saltwater crocodiles. Not to mention the incredible rock art that is hundreds of years old.

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is a must. No matter how many pictures you've seen, nothing will prepare you for your first view of Uluru in the Red Centre, not to mention the rock domes of Kata Tjuta and the stunning 300-metre deep sandstone ridges of Kings Canyon. Or visit Katherine Gorge, 13 dramatic criss-crossing valleys in beautiful Nitmiluk National Park.
